Recipe - Poutines Rapees

One half pound Salt pork, fatty
10 Potatoes; finely grated
4 Potatoes; cooked & mashed
Salt & Pepper

Soak the pork overnight in cold water to remove the salt, and cut into
cubes. Extract the water from the grated potatoes by putting them in a
cotton bag and squeezing vigorously. Mix the mashed potatoes with grated
potatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Roll the potato mixture into balls
resembling small snowballs. 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. 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.
Simmer the poultines for 23 hours. Eat the poultines hot with butter, salt
and pepper, or as a dessert with sugar and molasses. MAKES: 6 POULTINES
