Fried Sweet Potatoes

Peel four medium-sized, sound, round, sweet potatoes. Cut them into one-third-inch-thick slice, then cut each slice into one-third-inch strips. Plunge them in hot, but not boiling, fat for ten minutes. Lift them up with the skimmer. Thoroughly boil the fat, then plunge in the potatoes again and fry for three minutes longer. Remove them with the skimmer and thoroughly drain on a cloth. Dress on a hot dish with a folded napkin and serve.
