  1. Cut the potatoes in thick slices.
  2. Fry them in a frying-pan with butter or dripping, just enough to season them.
  3. As they fry, lift or scrape them from the bottom of the pan with an iron spoon, to prevent them from sticking to the bottom and burning, which, by imparting a bitter taste, would spoil them.
  4. When all are fried of a very light brown colour, season with pepper and salt.
