Ingredients

  • 6 medium russet potatoes, washed & unpeeled
  • 1 medium onion, peeled (yellow or white)
  • ice water
  • salt & pepper, to taste, no other seasoning needed
  • 3 -4 tablespoons lard (can use CRISCO, but it changes the taste)

Instructions

  1. Wash the potatoes under cold water & pat dry -- cut away any bad spots You can peel them, but I prefer not to.
  2. Peel the onion.
  3. Thinly slice the potatoes & onion.
  4. Add enough ice water to cover & let soak for about 15 minutes.
  5. Over medium-high heat, melt the lard (or CRISCO) -- cast iron works best.
  6. Drain the potatoes/onions & immediately add to the hot grease -- BE CAREFUL -- THE GREASE WILL SPLATTER!
  7. Season as desired.
  8. Cover & cook over med.-high heat until soft, stirring often.
  9. If potatoes stick, add a little more lard/CRISCO.
