Saratoga Potatoes

Pass through a Saratoga potato machine three medium-sized, sound, peeled, raw potatoes. Wash them in cold water, drain well on a sieve, drop them one by one into boiling fat and fry until of a good golden colour--which should take about five minutes--turning them over with a skimmer once in a while. Lift them up with the skimmer, place in a wire basket and let thoroughly dry. Sprinkle half teaspoon salt over them and serve on a hot dish with a folded napkin.

N. B. If no Saratoga potato machine is at hand, slice the potatoes with a sharp knife as thin as possible.
