Recipe: Fried Pork Rinds

Recipe for Fried Pork Rinds

If you can Locate a fresh pork ham with enough fat in the lining or sometimes at meat markets, they have skin w/fat attached that will sometimes allow you to purchase. If you purchase the ham you will need to trim the skin off the ham, making sure you keep most of the fat attached. Place in a deep cast iron pot on medium heat, stirring constantly to keep the skin from sticking. The fat will form its own oil and the skin will deep fry forming rinds. At first it will produce a bit of water but after cooking for a length of time you will see the water will disappear and oil will begin to form. Believe me this works. My mother cook pork rinds many years when I was a child.
