Ingredients
- potatoes, firm ones cut into eights, lengthwise
- butter or bacon fat, melted
- salt, to taste
Directions
After you peel and cut the potatoes into eights cover with cold water and let stand at least 30 minutes. This helps release the starch . Drain. Dry completely on a paper towel. Dip the prepared potatoes in melted butter or bacon fat. Spread in a shallow pan. Bake at 400 degrees for 40 minutes or till delicately brown, turning occasionally. Sprinkle with salt.
Now, here is the one for with a roast. They are called Franconia Potatoes, from the same book. Pare medium potatoes. Cook 10 minutes in boiling salted water. Drain and place in the pan in which meat is roasting. Bake until cooked, (about 1 hour), basting several times with the fat in the pan. Turn the potatoes occasionally so that they will brown evenly.
