Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lb potatoes
- 11 oz Montasio cheese
- 1 onion
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp butter
- salt, to taste
- black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- 1Peel the potatoes and slice them thinly or grate them.
- 2In a wide skillet, sauté the onion over medium heat until it becomes translucent and sweet, about 5 minutes.
- 3Add the potatoes to the skillet, drizzle with olive oil and butter, and cook slowly over medium‑low heat, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender, about 15‑20 minutes; season with salt and pepper.
- 4When the potatoes are tender, add the cubed Montasio cheese and stir until the cheese melts and the mixture forms a cohesive, golden crust, about 3‑4 minutes.
