Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

1 kg Potatoes, boiled in their
-jackets and peeled (a
Generous 2 lbs)
1 lg Onion, sliced
125 g Lard (1/2 cup plus 1 Tbsp)
100 g Cracklings (3 1/2 oz)
1/2 tb Pepper
1 tb (level) salt
A few Tbsp meat broth or
-water

This is an old-style recipe from grandma's more thrifty age, and is
rarely found today.

Slice the potatoes while still hot, and mix in the sliced onion. Add
the liquid and seasoning. Meanwhile, heat the cracklings in the lard,
and when very hot, pour over the potato salad, and lightly stir in.

In olden times, this was eaten with a slice of rye bread. Today, one
could serve it with something like an endive (escarole) salad.

Serves 4.
