Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Peel and grate the potatoes using a box grater or food processor.
- Finely chop the onion.
- Mince the garlic cloves.
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and cook until it becomes translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes with the cooked onions and garlic.
- Mix well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
- Add the grated parmesan cheese and mix again until fully incorporated.
- Generously grease a standard muffin pan to ensure easy removal of the fricos.
- Spoon the potato mixture into each muffin cup, packing it down firmly with the back of a spoon. Fill each cup to the top.
- Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the tops and edges are golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the muffin pan from the oven and allow the fricos to cool for 5-10 minutes in the pan.
- Carefully remove the fricos from the muffin pan using a butter knife or small spatula.
- Serve warm as a delicious side dish or appetizer.
Tips:
- Choose starchy potatoes like Russets for the best texture. They will provide a crispy exterior while maintaining a tender interior.
- Make sure to squeeze out excess moisture from the grated potatoes to achieve a crispier frico.
- For a quicker prep, you can use a food processor to grate the potatoes and onions.
- Let the fricos cool in the muffin pan for a few minutes before removing them, as this helps them retain their shape.
- Feel free to experiment with additional seasonings or herbs, such as rosemary or thyme, for an extra flavor boost.
These muffin pan cheesy potato fricos are a simple yet delicious way to enjoy the classic combination of potatoes and cheese. With their crispy exterior and rich, cheesy flavor, they are certain to become a favorite. Give this recipe a try and savor the comfort and satisfaction of homemade cheesy potato fricos.
