Patate in tecia

Patate in tecia is a traditional dish from the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region of northeastern Italy, that consists of potatoes that are boiled, then pan-fried with onions, pancetta (or other cured meats like bacon), and sometimes garlic, until they develop a crispy exterior while remaining soft inside. The name "in tecia" refers to the method of cooking the dish in a frying pan or skillet ("tecia" means "pan" in the local dialect). The dish is often served as a side dish, particularly alongside meats, and is a popular comfort food in the region.
