Raw Fried Potatoes - cooking recipe

Ingredients

6 medium russet potatoes, washed & unpeeled
1 medium onion, peeled (yellow or white)
ice water
salt & pepper, to taste, no other seasoning needed
3 -4 tablespoons lard (can use CRISCO, but it changes the taste)

Preparation

Wash the potatoes under cold water & pat dry -- cut away any bad spots You can peel them, but I prefer not to.
Peel the onion.
Thinly slice the potatoes & onion.
Add enough ice water to cover & let soak for about 15 minutes.
Over medium-high heat, melt the lard (or CRISCO) -- cast iron works best.
Drain the potatoes/onions & immediately add to the hot grease -- BE CAREFUL -- THE GREASE WILL SPLATTER!
Season as desired.
Cover & cook over med.-high heat until soft, stirring often.
If potatoes stick, add a little more lard/CRISCO.
