Haggerty

A classic Irish potato side dish.

Recipe Ingredients:

3 medium potatoes
1 large onion
2 tablespoons bacon fat

Sour cream for accompaniment

Cooking Directions:

1. Wash and peel the potatoes and cut in to paper thin slices. Pat dry with a towel.
2. Cut the onion into paper thin slices.
3. Heat half of the bacon fat in a heavy frying pan and fill the pan with alternate layers of potatoes, onions, and cheese, finishing with potatoes.
4. Sprinkle each layer with salt and pepper. Dot the final layer with remaining bacon fat. Cook over moderate heat until potatoes are almost tender.
