Fife is a seed potato growing district and stovie potatoes, cooked in an old-fashioned iron saucepan with a lid, are a favourite Scottish dish.

Ingredients
1 lb potatoes
2 large onions
2 oz dripping
Salt
Pepper

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