It was definitely too hot to be cooking this but I was craving it.

The chicken is really just an essential ingredient needed to flavor the potatoes. The potatoes are the star of the dish.

I have been hoarding some Parmesan Reggiano for about 13 years and decided today was time to use some of it.

Cost per person: $1.86

      • who was talking about medieval? The middle ages ended in the 15th century, OP is talking about a family recipe, op is probably less than 600 years old.
      • potatoes were locally grown, not imported. Just because the plant originated from overseas, the crops were not brought in in mass. Saying that potatoes were luxury imported items in Europe is like saying American cowboys who had horses were richer than the richest king, just because horses were not indigenous to America
      • chickens were broadly eaten as the weekend meat for the family dinner in rural farming communities in the 19th and 20th centuries. It is very common meat, and in italy it is the least fancy meat compared to pork or beef or horse
