Rustic Potato and Rosemary Piadina with Goat Cheese

Carbs on carbs? Italians say: yes! This rustic combination is a masterpiece of 'cucina povera' (peasant cooking): filling potatoes, fragrant spices, and a little cheese. The scent of rosemary and roasted potatoes is unbeatable, while the goat cheese cuts through the heavy flavors with its acidity. A true energy bomb.

Instructions

1

Peel the potatoes and cut them into very small cubes, about 1/2 inch (1 cm).

Tip: The smaller they are, the crispier they will be (greater surface area/mass ratio).
2

Heat the oil in a skillet, add the potatoes, salt, and chopped rosemary leaves. Fry over medium heat, shaking often, for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and tender.

Tip: Do not cover completely so the steam can escape and the potatoes roast rather than steam.
3

In the last minute, add the crushed garlic, toss to combine, then remove from heat.

Tip: Due to its high sugar content, garlic burns quickly and becomes bitter, so only add it at the end.
4

Warm the piadinas.

Tip: They should be hot.
5

Pile the hot potatoes onto the bread, crumble the cheese on top, and season with pepper.

Tip: The heat of the potatoes will melt the cheese.
6

Fold in half and serve.

Tip: A filling lunch!

Recipe FAQ

The potatoes stayed raw.
You cut the cubes too large. Since we are frying them in a skillet, they need to be very small (approx. 1/2 inch) to soften by the time they brown.
