POTATO DUMPLINGS WITH MONTASIO ON A LEAF OF FRICO
Recipe cured by Libra srl (PN)
- 1 kg of floury potatoes
- 300 g of flour 00
- 2 eggs
- Salt (to taste)
- 1/2 liter of milk cream
- 30 g of flour 00
- 30 g of butter
- 300 g of fresh Montasio
- Nutmeg (to taste)
- 6 handfuls of grated aged Montasio
Boil, peel, mash and cool the potatoes, add eggs, flavor with salt and knead with the evenly distributed flour until the mixture becomes uniform. Create sticks large-more or less-like a finger and cut them into 1-cm pieces long. Boil water to cook dumplings. In the meanwhile, prepare the Montasio sauce and frico. Prepare béchamel with milk, flour and butter, scented of nutmeg. Cook in a water bath and add Montasio stirring until fluffy.
For the Frico: heat a non-stick pan and add a handful of grated Montasio. Spread it on the surface and turn it upside-down, so that the surplus fall. Brown it and turn it with a spatula to cook it on both sides. You will get a sort of flaky pastry to lay-flower shaped-in a mini-cup. Cook dumplings in hot water, toss them in a pan with the Montasio sauce and serve hot over the leaf of Frico.
