French Fried Potatoes

Ingredients

• potatoes
• lard
• fine salt

Directions

The book gives no oven temperature. The 400°F in the steps was added when the recipe was transcribed, as a starting point.

1. Peel the potatoes and slice them lengthwise into ¼ inch thick slices.

2. Soak the slices in cold water for 1 hour.

3. Remove the slices from the water and dry them with a cloth.

4. Fry the slices in hot lard (400°F / 200°C).

5. For puffier potatoes, remove them with a skimmer before fully cooked, drain, and return to the hot lard until done.

6. Sprinkle with fine salt and serve hot.
