Poutines Rapees

Ingredients:

• 1/2 lb. Salt pork, fatty
• 10 Potatoes; finely grated
• 4 Potatoes; cooked & mashed
• Salt & Pepper
  

Directions:

1. Soak the pork overnight in cold water to remove the salt, and cut into cubes.
2. Extract the water from the grated potatoes by putting them in a cotton bag and squeezing vigorously.
3. Mix the mashed potatoes with grated potatoes. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Roll the potato mixture into balls resembling small snowballs.
5. Make a hole in the centre of the potato ball and add 1 Tbsp of the salt pork. Close the hole and roll the poultines in flour.
6. Gently drop the poultines 2 or 3 at a time, into a large pot of boiling salted water, ensuring that the water is kept at a rolling boil.
7. Simmer the poultines for 2-3 hours. Eat the poultines hot with butter, salt and pepper, or as a dessert with sugar and molasses.
