"Potato Chips." (Beechwood.)
Peel the potatoes, then pare them round and round in ribbons, as thin and as long as possible. Have ready a clean frying pan with some melted lard or nice dripping of veal or beef only—mutton will not do; and throw in a handful of the chips at a time. Brown them as quickly as possible and spread them on a clean cloth to dry. Shake a little pounded sugar over.
