Cracklings are sold as pork rinds in the store and are known as chicharrons in Spanish. They are the crisp bits left after fat has been thoroughly rendered.

3 cups water, boiling |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 cup pork rind, crushed (cracklings) |
oil or other fat, for frying |
Directions:
1. Preheat oil to about 350°F in a large skillet.

3. Form into oval patties and fry until golden brown.
4. Place in a hot oven to finish crisping.
