Browned Potatoes

Peel, wash and either boil or steam for three quarters of an hour the desired quantity of potatoes (they should always be boiled or partially boiled before browning), then take them out of the saucepan, drain and place them in a baking-dish with a small quantity of fat or dripping, set the dish in the oven and bake gently for forty minutes, basting frequently. When done and well browned drain off all the fat, place them in a vegetable dish, and serve.
