Potatoes cooked in lard

How to make it

1. 1

   Slice the potatoes

   Cut the washed potatoes into slices about ½ cm thick and put them into cold water as you go.

2. 2

   Prepare two pots

   It is best to have 2 pots of lard: one hot, as for ordinary frying, the other considerably hotter.

3. 3

   First frying

   Take the slices out of the water and dry them well in a cloth. Put them in pot no. 1 for about 5 minutes, or until they float up. Let them drain on a coarse cloth or paper.

4. 4

   Second frying

   Put the slices into pot no. 2 for a moment. When all is as it should be, the potatoes puff up. Sprinkle a little salt over when serving.

5. 5

   Make ahead

   The potatoes can be prepared in advance and only need a moment in a sieve, shaken over the heat. Do not use the otherwise much-prized floury potato for this.
