Corn And Potato Chowder

Ingredients

• 1 can corn
• 4 cups potatoes, cut in ¼-inch slices
• 1½-inch cube fat salt pork
• 1 sliced onion
• 4 cups scalded milk
• 8 common crackers
• 3 tablespoons butter
• Salt and pepper to taste

Method

1. 1 Cut pork into small pieces and render the fat. Add the sliced onion and cook for 5 minutes, stirring often to prevent burning. Strain the fat into a stewpan.
2. 2 Parboil the potato slices in boiling water for 5 minutes. Drain, then add the potatoes to the rendered fat in the stewpan.
3. 3 Add two cups of boiling water to the pot. Cook until the potatoes are soft, then stir in the corn and scalded milk. Heat to a boiling point.
4. 4 Season with salt and pepper. Add butter and crackers that have been split and soaked in cold milk to moisten. Serve immediately.
