Potato Fillets
Ingredients
Directions
Peel and thinly slice the potatoes into small fillets, about ¼ inch square.
Soak the fillets in cold water until ready to use.
Heat lard in a deep pan until boiling.
Drop the fillets into the boiling lard and cook until nearly done.
Remove the fillets with a skimmer and drain them.
Bring the lard back to a boil, then return the fillets and fry until fully cooked and puffed up.
