  1. If using dripping or goose fat, set in a bowl on the back of the cooker to melt.
  2. Line a shallow roasting tin with greaseproof paper. Cut the potatoes into even sized pieces. Put into a pan of cold water. Cover, bring to the boil, and simmer for a minute. Drain then add the flour or polenta mixture. Shake well, then pour in the fat and shake again.
