Frico (Cheesy, Potato and Onion Cake)
www.insidetherustickitchen.com
Frico, is the ultimate comfort food. Potatoes and onions sauteed until soft then fried with lots of Italian cheese. Soft, crispy and delicious!

This looks cheap and filling for the colder months. It was originally a poverty food so I’d just use whatever cheese is cheap or available.

    I used to make a variation on this: potato leek pie

    shredder attachment works best-shred potatoes & leeks, add to a bowl of cream, thyme, lots of parmesan, S&P, mix well.

    small skillet, med-hogh heat, a little oil. strain out the liquid, put the potatoes in the pan and tuck in sides, pat down firm, let cook to brown up and flip. Finish in a hot oven, flip onto a cutting board and let settle for a bit and then slice.

    I’ve kinda turned some leftover stamppot into this by frying it and adding some cheese.

    I called it bubble & squeak, though Frico sounds fancier 😁

    I can definitely see doing this in the cast iron skillet while camping this winter!
