Roast Potatoes in Quarters

Peel and cut four medium, sound, raw potatoes into six square pieces each; wash and drain well, place in a frying pan with two tablespoons melted lard and fry on the range for ten minutes, or until a good golden colour, occasionally turning with a skimmer; then place in a small roasting tin. Season with a teaspoon salt and half teaspoon pepper. Evenly spread one ounce butter on the surface of the potatoes, then place in a brisk oven for thirty minutes. Remove, lift up with a skimmer, place on a dish and serve.
