1 lb. jerky, beef or buffalo
2 c. whole dried hominy, soaked overnight in ample water
1 lg. yellow onion, peeled and chopped
1 lb. unpeeled potatoes, diced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

If you are not inclined to make your own jerky for this dish you will have no trouble finding commercial sources. Ask in any good delicatessen. German sausage makers produce a fine jerky.

Break the jerky up into 1-inch pieces and place in a heavy, lidded kettle. Drain the hominy and add to the jerky, along with the onion. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Simmer, covered, until the hominy is tender, about 2 hours. You will have to watch this closely, as more water will have to be added as you go along. Add the potatoes and cook for an additional 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
