This recipe was extracted from Manual for army cooks (1896) by United States. War Dept. Subsistence Dept., page 53. The excerpt below is the record exactly as published.

FRIED RAW POTATOES. Wash, pare, and slice the potatoes very thin. They will hold the shape better if cut lengthwise. Lay them in ice-cold water for ten or fifteen minutes. Drain and spread them on a dry cloth ; cover with another dry cloth and press gently to dry each slice. Have brisk, but not a fierce fire. Put into a frying pan enough lard or dripping

Cook this with the app: pantry check, scaling, and the assistant.
