County Cork Cornish Pasties
Yield: enough filling for about 4 pasties
Ingredients

Instructions
- Peel potatoes and slice into 1/4 inch slices.
- In a saucepan heat the bacon grease and slightly sauté the onion.

- Slightly mash some of the potatoes as you stir.
- Add the salt and pepper.

These are good served at room temperature.
