Description

Frico Friulano is a delicious alternative to the traditional potato tortilla, but without egg. This Italian recipe, originally from the Friuli region, combines grated potatoes with a mixture of cured cheeses, creating a crispy texture on the outside and soft on the inside. I often prepare it for a weekend brunch or as an original appetizer. The key is to use a good cow's cheese, preferably Montasio, and cook it over low heat so that it browns without burning. It is a simple, tasty and perfect dish to share! It is also an excellent vegetarian and gluten-free option.
