• I’ve added a casual chat room to CookingBites as a place for off-topic banter, light conversation, and short-lived chit-chat that doesn’t belong in forum threads. The chat room is informal and lightly-to-not moderated, with messages being temporary, so it’s ideal for friendly back-and-forth that would otherwise derail discussions. Site rules still apply, but there’s no reporting system or expectation of post-by-post moderation - if something becomes uncomfortable, the right response is to step away. If a topic has substance or lasting value, it still belongs in the forums; everything else can head to chat.

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.
