Potato Straws

Wash and peel some potatoes, cut them into small shreds, about the thickness of matches, wash well and dry on a cloth; throw them, a few at a time, into plenty of clear boiling fat; shake the potatoes about in the fat until they are crisp, and of a deep yellow colour. Drain on a cloth, sprinkle slightly with salt, and serve on a folded napkin.
