Frico potato cheese tart is a Friulian specialty with its roots in the local popular tradition. The crunchy crust on the top is essential to be considered a Friulian dish.

Servings: 4

Ingredients:

500g/18oz Montasio cheese, ideally half fresh cheese (up to 2 months) and half medium-aged (5-10 months), grated.
500g/18oz red potatoes
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
Salt
Pepper

Notes:

To flip the Frico potato cheese tart easily, tip it out onto a plate and then slide it back into the pan.

Instructions:

Wash and peel the potatoes before grating them.
Heat the oil in a large pan and add the grated potatoes. Stir and cook over a low heat for 10-15 minutes, until soft.
Add the grated cheese, along with some salt and pepper to taste and mix well, the ingredients should be blended evenly.
Continue cooking over a medium-low heat and stir occasionally.
When the cheese has melted completely, turn up the heat a little and cook like you would an omelette, until a nice golden crust has formed on the bottom.
At this point, flip the Frico over and cook the other side until the same crust is formed.
Transfer the Frico onto a plate, slice it and serve immediately.
