Breaded Lamb Chops

Wipe and trim the chops, sprinkle with salt and pepper and dip in crumbs, egg, and crumb again; fry in deep fat from five to eight minutes and drain. Serve with tomato sauce, or stack around a mound of mashed potatoes, fried potoato balls, boiled brown or uncoated rice, boiled samp, or green peas. Never fry but four at a time, and allow the fat to re-heat between the fryings. After testing the fat for the temperature, put in the chops, and place the kettle on the back of the range, so that the surface of the chops may not become too brown while the inside is still underdone.
