Frico Del Fattore

1. 1

   Saute bacon in a medium-size nonstick pan over medium heat until it gives up some of its fat.

2. 2

   Add onion, and cook until onion begins to color.

3. 3

   Add potato, and stir well to coat.

4. 4

   Add 3/4 cup water; reduce heat to low; cover, and cook, stirring once, about 15 minutes, until potatoes are soft and water has evaporated.

5. 5

   Mixture should be fairly dry.

6. 6

   Add cheese, several pieces at a time, and stir continuously, adding more cheese as it melts.

7. 7

   When cheese is almost completely melted, turn mixture into an 8-inch nonstick pan (nonstick surface should be perfect, or cheese will stick), and cook over low heat to brown bottom.

8. 8

   As fat from cheese accumulates, spoon it off.

9. 9

   When bottom is browned, carefully flip onto plate, and then return frico to pan to brown the other side, about 20 minutes total.
