6 tablespoons bacon drippings
4 cups potatoes, finely diced, raw or cooked
1 tablespoon onions finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Heat fat (shortening may be substituted) in large skillet. Arrange potatoes evenly over bottom of skillet and top with onion, salt, and pepper. Cook over low heat until bottom side is golden brown, allowing more time if potatoes are raw. (Raw potatoes will cook faster if skillet is covered for a short time.) When potatoes have browned on bottom, flip over with spatula, cutting portion in half if necessary to facilitate turning potatoes over. Continue cooking until potatoes have browned on second side. Season to taste. Serve hot.
