Montasio cheese
1 cup, grated
Salt

Pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large non-stick pan, melt the butter over medium heat.
  3. Add the thinly sliced potatoes to the pan, season generously with salt and pepper, and cook until they are tender and golden brown, about 10 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
  4. Once the potatoes are cooked, evenly sprinkle the grated Montasio cheese over the top, covering the potatoes completely.
  5. Carefully transfer the pan to the preheated oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and crispy.
  6. After baking, remove the frico from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Cut into wedges to serve.
  7. Serve warm as an appetizer or snack, and enjoy the delightful combination of flavors!
