Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 400F.

Melt fat and butter in cast-iron skillet over low heat.

Mix salt and pepper in a small bowl.

Peel potatoes and, working over bowl of fat, cut crosswise into 1/16-inch-thick slices, letting them fall into fat, then toss to coat.

Arrange one third of potatoes in 1 layer in skillet in overlapping concentric circles.

Sprinkle with one third of salt mixture, then make 2 more layers of potatoes in same manner, seasoning each layer with one third of salt mixture.

If there is any fat remaining in bowl, scrape onto potatoes.

Cook potatoes over moderate heat 15 minutes.
