Golden Cheese & Herb Potato Frika is a crispy, cheesy skillet-baked dish made with shredded potatoes, fresh herbs, and melty cheese. It’s rustic, hearty, and perfect for brunch or a cozy vegetarian dinner.

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Gruyère, or a mix)
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs (parsley, chives, thyme)
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 small onion, grated or finely chopped
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Grate the potatoes and squeeze out excess moisture using a clean towel or cheesecloth.
  3. In a large bowl, combine shredded potatoes, eggs, cheese, herbs, garlic, onion, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  4. Heat olive oil or butter in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
  5. Spread the potato mixture evenly in the skillet and press down gently.
  6. Cook undisturbed for 8–10 minutes, until the bottom is golden and crisp.
  7. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 15–20 minutes, until the top is set and golden.
  8. Let cool slightly before slicing into wedges and serving.

Notes

  • For a tangy twist, add crumbled feta or goat cheese.
  • Mix in smoked paprika or cayenne for extra flavor.
  • Chopped spinach or kale adds color and nutrients.
  • Sweet potatoes can be used for a sweeter variation.
