 That's what this antique recipe is titled. It came in a old recipe box I bought from an antique store.  It calls for semi-sweet chocolate bars to be cut into pieces the size of a pea- so before chocolate chips were a thing. It appears to be from the 1930s since Nestle started selling "morsels" (chips) in their own bags in 1939. Regardless, they were some of the best chocolate chip cookies I have had in a while so its a recipe worth keeping!

Combine and cook over med-hi heat with lid on. Stir occasionally to keep the potatoes from sticking. IF you are using cooked pork, start the potatoes (with oil, butter & salt) first, then when they are softened, add the cooked pork into the pan When the potatoes are softened, sprinkle 1 T flour over the mixture and stir well.
