Peel the potatoes, wash them thoroughly and slice them into approx. 3 mm thick slices. Beetroot (bleeds heavily, best to wear disposable gloves) thoroughly wash, peel and also slice into 3 mm thick slices.
Heat the oil in a wide saucepan, fry the potato slices in it in 4 portions until golden brown. Turn the potato slices over. Lift them out with a skimmer and let them drip off on kitchen paper. Sprinkle with salt.
Fry the beetroot in 3 portions in hot frying fat while turning for 3-4 minutes. Lift out with a skimmer and let it drip off on kitchen paper. Sprinkle with salt. Sour Cream tastes good with it.
