Irish Potato Stew

Peel potatoes and cut coarsely.

Get a heavy frying pan hot, add the bacon grease (get it hot to almost smoking). Sprinkle the flour around in the grease slowly so as to get the flour cooking without it sticking together. Brown to a light brown consistency.

Watch and stir the cooking flour as this is done under high heat and the flour will burn if you don't watch it close! Do not burn, if you see black specks, start over.

Brown one onion in the mixture. Add potatoes, carrots, and flour mixture to boiling water. Add salt and pepper to taste and let cook until vegetables are tender.
