Torta di patate is a sort of potato pie, typical of the peasant cuisine.
The tradition tells us that during the day devoted to St. Savino, the farmers used to boil potatoes and make a puree. They used to add lardo, butter, onions and grated cheese. They put the mixture into a puff pastry and baked it.
This ancient recipe is still used today and it made Farini gain the De.Co. recognition.
Delis, restaurants and farmhouses always sell this speciality. It’s perfect as a starter or snack.
The torta di patate’s festival takes place every year in Farini: it’s the perfect moment to taste this speciality into the natural atmosphere of Val Nure.
