Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - ⌛ 7 min.

Peel and wash 500 g potatoes.

Stage 2 - ⌛ 5 min.

Grate them, then put them in cold water while waiting.

Dip them in cold water too.

Stage 5 - ⌛ 3 min.

Set aside.

Stage 7 - ⌛ 3 min.

Do the same with the onions.

Stage 8 - ⌛ 3 min.

Pour 330 g water into a bowl, then whisk in 300 g flour.

The consistency should be roughly that of pancake batter, and if necessary, adjust the weight of water.

Stage 9 - ⌛ 3 min.

Add the grated Comté cheese, 50 g breadcrumbs, salt and pepper.

Preheat oven to 200°C (390°F).

Stage 10 - ⌛ 1 min.

Place a sheet of baking paper on a baking sheet, then brush it with oil if possible.

Stage 11 - ⌛ 3 min.

Spread the mixture over the entire baking sheet in a thin layer.

Drizzle with olive oil...

Stage 12 - ⌛ 40 min.

...and bake for approx. 30-40 minutes at 200°C (390°F), watching for browning at the end.

Stage 13

Cut into small pieces, and enjoy preferably warm or hot.

Remarks

You can set aside a tablespoon of grated Comté cheese and sprinkle it over the scarpaccia just before baking.

Of course, to be more in the Italian spirit, replace the Comté with Parmesan or Pecorino.

Keeping: Enjoy immediately, but can be stored for several days in the fridge.
