Description
A comforting and hearty dish combining nutty frika, crispy potatoes, and creamy cheese, perfect for any meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup frika (cracked wheat)
- 2 cups waxy potatoes (like Yukon Gold), diced
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
- Soak the frika in warm water for about 20 minutes, then drain and set aside.
- Wash and peel the potatoes, then chop them into small cubes. Dice the onion finely.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil or butter over medium heat. Add the diced onions and cook until soft and translucent, about 5–7 minutes.
