TRENTINO POTATO CAKE cooked in a pan, a quick and easy recipe perfect for a takeaway lunch or dinner, simple and tasty ready in a few minutes.
The other day I had in mind to make the classic Trentino potato cake in the oven, but with this heat, I really didn’t feel like turning it on. So I decided to try it in the pan… and I assure you it came out crispy on the outside, soft and tasty on the inside, ready in no time.
This savoury potato cake is a clever idea for those looking for a quick recipe without an oven and love simple dishes that taste like home. It is made with grated yellow potatoes, onion, speck (or bacon) if you prefer, and a splash of oil, but you can customize it as you like. It is delicious both hot and at room temperature, so perfect to take to the beach, on a trip, or serve at dinner with a fresh salad.
