PRATIE OATEN

3 large potatoes
1 cup rolled oats; uncooked
1/2 cup butter; melted
1 teaspoon salt
bacon fat (for frying)

Bring a pot of water to a boil. Dump in the unpeeled potatoes and boil until tender. Mash them. Allow them to cool for about 10 minutes.

Mix the oats into the cooled potatoes to form a soft dough. Add the melted butter and salt and mix in well.

Roll out on a floured surface to about 1 inch thickness, and then cut out with a 2 inch round biscuit cutter.

Fry in a little bacon fat until golden brown on both sides.
