Required: Potatoes. Good dripping. Salt.

Wash and scrub the potatoes, then peel them thinly; put them in a pan of boiling salted water, and boil until they are half cooked. Drain them well from the water, and dry them. To do this put the pan with the potatoes in over a gentle heat, and shake them lightly, so that the steam escapes. When quite dry put them in a dripping-tin with some melted dripping, and bake them in a moderate oven until they are nicely browned and cooked through. They will have to be turned over occasionally. Lift them on to a piece of kitchen paper to drain off all loose fat. Sprinkle with a little salt, and serve in a hot dish. N.b. - If a joint of meat is being cooked.

the potatoes could be put in the same baking-tin.
