Ingredients
6 medium potatoes, peeled & sliced 1/4''
1/2 lb. salted pork fat
2 medium onions, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup sugar
salt & pepper to taste
1/2 cup butter (approximate)
1/4 cup vegetable oil (approximate)
Preparation
Soak potatoe slices in water.
Slice pork fat and heat on low in a heavy, large skillet, until reduced to crispy slices. Leave rendered fat in pan, but remove crispy slices.
Add onions to pan and sauté on medium-high heat until just transluscent. Add potatoes and coat in fat. Add a small amount of water, salt, pepper and sugar. Add more water until it almost covers the potatoes - it should NEVER cover the potoates, but almost.
Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat to simmer until just cooked through but not mushy, stirring occasionally until much of the water has evaporated.
