If you want you can also add a clove of garlic and a pinch of paprika so that the soup gets a nice colour.

Stovies
(Sent in by Jenny Cunningham, Edinburgh)

Stovies are special potatoes from Fife and a favourite Scottish dish.

Ingredients:
1 lb potatoes, 2 large onions, 2 oz dripping, salt and pepper.

Method:
Put the dripping into a strong pan and allow to become smoking hot. Add the sliced onions. Peel and slice the potatoes and add them to the pan together with salt and pepper. Cover the pan closely and cook gently for 1-2 hours. When ready, stir up with a spoon. Good stovies must cook without burning and without the lid being lifted during the cooking!
