Boil 4 or 5 cups potatoes cut in cubes, in salted water. Cut 1 pound lean salt pork in small pieces and fry until brown. Take pieces of pork from fat and add to drained potatoes, 1 medium-sized onion, fried in the pork fat but not too brown; add as much flour as fat will take, add 1 pint milk, or more if needed, to make a cream sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Add 1 large can of fish flakes to this mixture, then the pork and potatoes.
Good served with toast.
- Mrs. W. F. Brugman.
