Serves 4, Preparation time 15 mins, Cooking time 30-35 mins

• 250 g of yellow potato
• 30 g unsalted butter
• 200 g mixed cheese - both fresh and aged
• 2 white or yellow onions
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Method

Dice or grate cheese.

Peel and cut potatoes into very thin slices or grate them.

Melt the butter in a non-stick pan and gently stew the onion.

Add potatoes to the onions: cook over medium heat for about 25 mins, stirring regularly.

Add salt and pepper to taste before adding cheese cut into small cubes and stir until it melts completely and crush a bit with a spatula to keep them together.

Now lower the heat and complete the cooking until a crust has formed on the bottom.

Turn Frico as if it were a frittata, keep cooking it until the same crust has formed on the other side.

Serve it hot.
