Ingredients
4 pounds potatoes, peeled
1/2 cup vegetable shortening
1/2 cup chopped onions
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Directions
- In a large pot of salted water, boil the potatoes until they are just about fork tender. Do not overcook. Drain the potatoes and cool. Slice the potatoes about 1/4-inch thick.
- In a large, heavy-sided cast iron skillet, add the shortening, onions, and potatoes and cook over medium heat until golden brown. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
