This is a delicious way to warm up cold potatoes. Chop the potatoes. To a quart of chopped potato add a tablespoon-ful of flour. Heat a frying pan and melt in it two tablespoon-fuls of beef fat. Stir the potato thoroughly into the fat. Press the mixture firmly down and set the pan where the potatoes will brown on the bottom. It is better to do this slowly, and you should allow half an hour. Turn the potatoes out on a large plate. There should be a nice brown crust, just as you have it in corned-beef hash.
