Fried Salt Pork

I like to season with  fatback or salt pork, but I personally don't eat it this way.  My friends thinks the best breakfast (or any meal), consist of salt pork, fried potatoes and homemade biscuits!!

 

 

Select salt pork that has white fat, (if the fat has started yellowing it is rusty and does not have a good flavor). It can be streaked with lean or it can be fatback.

Ingredients:

Salt Pork, ¼ inch thick (allow 3-4 slices per person)

Water

Directions:

Arrange the slices in a iron frying pan and pour water to cover. Bring to boil, to remove the salt. Pour off the water; rearranging the slices and fry as is, or dip each slice in milk and dredge in corn meal or flour before frying. Fry until light brown and crisp
