Potatoes, Allumettes

Peel and wash three good-sized, sound, raw potatoes and carefully cut them into match-like strips. Wash again, drain well, then place in a wire frying basket and fry them in boiling fat for five minutes, or until they attain a golden colour. Lift them up, drain thoroughly, sprinkle over them a light teaspoon salt and serve on a hot dish.
