The BEST Italian Dish You've NEVER Heard Of!

- Cheese and potatoes time ragazzi! Friuli Venezia Giulia (where Alessio is from) is famous for this delicious Italian recipe, but the shocking thing is, most people have never heard of it. Frico was first developed as a hearty meal to help use up leftover Montasio cheese. We didn’t have access to Montasio here in the US, so we substituted in piave and Gruyère cheeses.
Fun fact: Chef Luca Manfe made frico during his competition on Masterchef, impressing Gordon Ramsay and going on to win!
From Google: Montasio, an aged cheese, boasts an aromatic bouquet and fruity, grassy notes. It was first made by monks from the milk of cows that graze in the foothills of the Alps. Hundreds of years later, the “recipe” is almost the same. In fact, in 1986, Montasio was awarded protected designation of origin (DOP: refresh your certification expertise here), cementing the production methods. After being brined and salted, Montasio is aged for a minimum of 60 days (and up to more than 18 months), allowing the flavors to intensify over time.

You two are definitely relationship goals. Blessings to you both.
Thank you so much!
I'm definitely going to try to make this. I'm native American and live on the reservation my husband and children are all native as well. My hubby knows my dream is to visit Italy and to eat some real Italian food. It's on my bucket list and one day I'm hoping this dream can come true.
Maybe I'll see you over there someday.... I'll probably be wearing some of my Haida Gwaii gear! 😊 Singaay laa, jaad
Don’t give up that bucket list. My grandfather was born in Napoli and my whole life. I wanted to go to Italy. I never thought I was going to make it. My beautiful sweet daughter took me for my 60th birthday. It was one of the best experiences of my life, Roma, Napoli and Positano all beautiful places and the food is absolutely amazing. Once you eat in Italy, you will absolutely understand what he’s talking about when it comes to the chemical taste. I could not believe how clean and fresh all the food was. We thought we were going to gain weight. The food was so clean and fresh and we did not and we ate a ton of food. It’s such a beautiful country too, I really pray you get there one day.
I made frico. My friends tell me that it is the best dish that I ever made and to make it again! Thank you both!
As someone who lives in Switzerland 🇨🇭 and i think i can help with the pronunciation. The cheese comes from the area of Gruyères, Fribourg and is one of the most iconic cheese out there. Since the area primarily speaks French the name is pronounced in a very French way. Ao its Gruyère i.e. Groo - Ye-r (the r is from the throat, the french R). Cheers, love your videos ❤
grazie mille for help with the correct pronunciation
Isn't this dish similar to Swiss Rosti?
@@lauralong8093 Yes, it's basically a Rösti with cheese and onions mixed under instead of put on top.
@@roesi1985 Ja du häsch natürli rächt. Sehr noech eusere Röschti. Und Gruyere isch au nöd schlecht.
@@rolfmeier5207 ja, die Norditaliener sind ebe nöch ade Schwiiz😆mir als Oschtschwizer nehmed aber lieber Appizäller als Greyerzer
Omg! My Irish great grandmother fell in love with (and often traveled to) Italy in her younger years. She passed in 2012. But she would make a dish she called “cheese potato “ which was thin slices of potato and onion layered with parm & Gruyère and cooked until a crispy golden brown. I’m realizing now that she was probably trying to make Frico! Thanks for sharing this recipe. I love making my grandmothers version, but will definitely try the Friul way ❤️
Did she every add chillies or salt and pepper to it?
Parm and gruviere anyway, are too sweet and tasty for a good frico.. Montasio tastes of milk, it's tasty but fresh...
@@prathi9535 no chilies or salt but she did add a good amount of pepper. And I’m pretty sure there was garlic added
@@GiuliaBertelli982 ayy thankyou ❤️
@@GiuliaBertelli982no garlic in the frico!! Just Cheese, Onions and potatoes.
I cried for almost 2 yrs missing my family when l migrated to Australia and food was so difficult in 1978. Our trips to Sydney was the highlight of my life getting ingredients to cook Malaysian food. So l feel for Alessio and his homesickness.
My father-in-law was from Fanna, in Friuli. I made this dish for my husband tonight and he said it was delicious!! Thanks for sharing this. We love watching you!
I know how Alessio feels about homesickness. It reminds me of my maternal grandpa that I've never met (as he died before I was born) but heard stories about from my mom. My maternal family from Cuba first came to the NY metro area before the Cuban Revolution, as they didn't like Batista. They lived in New Jersey but until the early 70s, as my maternal grandpa felt homesick as he missed Cuba's weather, so he wanted to move to Miami as it was the most like Cuba.
So they ended up moving down there, and although they liked Calle Ocho, my mom said they felt isolated as they had to do everything by car. The family ironically felt homesick for the NYC metro, as they missed the walkability and transit freedom that the NYC metro area had (this was before Miami even had transit). My mom also hated the warm weather and preferred NYC's cool climate. So they ended up moving back to the NYC metro. Where she would live in Rego Park, Queens and the Upper West Side (when those areas were still cheap), meet my father, and would have me in the early 2000s.
I NEED FRICO! This looks so delicious! I love your videos and look forward to each one of them! Thank you so much !
You have made me smile, laugh and cry at this video. I do not leave in my homeland, for reasons of love too. I am not italian but I need some Frico now in my life. Grazie Mille !
I just love you two! Makes me so happy! 🙏❤️🇮🇹
Great vid! It make me smile when Alessio named the "Sagra del frico di Carpacco" because I went there last summer (I am from the neighbour region of Veneto) after I heard they made the best frico in Friuli, and they were right one of the best I had!
Hi Jessi&Alessio, I have been living in Germany for almost nine years and I am originally from South Carolina.The winter is the hardest time of the year for me ,especially in our area, which my husband calls Deutsche Suppe.-German Soup.He goes out of his way to spoil me during those times when I am super homesick and can make fantastic pulled pork BBQ and takes me to Düsseldorf to a place that makes some of the best Nashville hot fried chicken I have ever eaten😊. Thank you for sharing your recipe for Frico we both love Kartoffeln and will be adding this to our recipes we need to try list.
I need frico in my life.. that looked like it tasted AMAZING.. thanks for sharing it with us!
My family is from Udine! It's so cool to see someone from the region online because I know very little about it! Someday, I hope to visit my family and eat all the food! I will try to make frico this weekend. Thanks for showing us how!
Thanks!! I'll try it with your cheese combo. Love it when you guys cook!❤
Wrote this down to make in the future. It sounds wonderful to a potato and cheese lover.
You two are amazing to watch and I enjoy the food tastings. There are so many different regions in the US that have great dishes and I can't wait to see more "trying new things" segments
In Germany we have something similar called Reibekuchen, but we bind the potatoes and onions with flour. We eat apple sauce or horseradish with it.
I definitely need frico in my life! Thank you for sharing! So much love here.
You two are adorable, please keep it up. I hope to see you soon on the food channel, you have everything that you need to be successful.
I need frico!!!! I love watching your videos!!!! Thank you very much for making them!
Love this recipe and YOU TWO dancing!!! Thanks for making my morning.
My 3 favorite ingredients, it looks yummy... Thanks for sharing 💜💜💜
That looks delicious! Good job, guys!
I need frico! Haha. This episode was adorable. That frico looks delicious. I'm going to have to try it. I bet your kitchen smelled amazing.
Ok I made this tonight and it came out great. My wife loved it and wants it again. I had the same problem with the pan burning and had to use a second pan. Thanks!
I love that you compost! 😊❤
You two are sweetest! I teared up a little when you both tried a bite.
Grazie per la ricetta! I definitely need frico in my life.
Love watching the Italian dishes with you two. Tku. 😊
Obviously we need frico!! A trifecta of YUM!! Thanks for sharing. Gotta make this soon. And - love your channel and your travels. Excited to watch your Italian home buying journey! 😊😊😊
As someone that absolutely loves potato, I've never thought to make this. This sounds so delicious. I'm gonna try making it this weekend and I hope I do a good job of it. Thank you for sharing Amore ❤
I am so making Frico. :) Thank you for sharing!
This was such a sweet video! I need frico for sure!! Looks delicious
So yeah I need Frico too! I love the way Jessi always thinks of something to make her Amore Alessio feel better! I will not stop saying this guys you are so blessed to be together! May your love grow stronger day by day and your hearts are filled with joy!
What is that Alpi song? Can you write the name? Your happy dance is just so cute and authentic! Lots of love!
I love this!!! Thank you so much for sharing!!
e' stato un piacere
I need frico! Going to have to make it. Looks simple & yet delicious!
This looks amazing! I might have to attempt to make this for my Italian-American husband. His great grandpa was originally from Sarno before he immigrated to the states.
This is my wife's potato casserole recipe except she uses cheddar cheese and bakes in the oven. This looks better since the Frico has more crunchy "edge" which is the best part.
your videos always make me smile.
I love this video so much!! ☺️ it looks delicious! I am going to make Frico with young Gouda cheese, see how that turns out.
Hope you enjoy❤️
Fantastic! My Italian mother-in-law uses a brown paper bag with paper towel over it to drain all her fried foods ie cutlets . I feel that would work perfect for this too! 👍Thank you for sharing ❤
You guys are adorable! I'm American and my husband is Frulano from Tarvisio! We love this dish. Love your videos.
I am not Italian and I miss Italy! It is the most beautiful country in the world! ❤
I need frico - no, seriously, I need to make that!!
Love you both and your content ❤️
Thank you! I’ll definitely try making this dish.
I need frico! So it is basically like a polish latke (potato pancake) with cheese. I have to try this it looks so good. I enjoy watching your videos guys.
I need frico! Thank you, very enjoyable video. I looked up that master chef clip of Chef Luca, too.
Made this with mixed cheese's. Mostly dutch primadonna and bellavitano it came out so good. Gotta find some montasio . We have a local grocery chain store called uncle Giuseppe they may have it .
Frico looks sooo good! I’m going to make it this weekend as Melbourne is so cold right now and the Frico is what I need!

I need to try this. Grazie mille!
I need frico NOW! This was one of your best videos❤️ Lovely

I agree that it is one of the best foods ever. I also recently made Coccoi e Corcoriga. I could be happy with just those two things for quite some time. So delicious.
I need frico! Like REALLY need!! I’m thinking of trying of trying it for dinner tonight! 🤔 I love doing Italian dishes for Sunday dinner! 💜 🇮🇹
New to your channel. I lived in friuli back in 2014 and lived it there. I lived in Cormons and worked as a cook at a trattoria called Al Cacciatore in La
Subida. One of the dishes they made there was frico and it was absolutely delicious. Watching this brings back memories
OMG you two are so wholesome!!!
I’m going to try making the frico in my cast iron skillet, I think it will be delicious!
It always makes me happy to see someone have a little piece of home.
Gruyère. You pronounced it perfectly, dear friends.
You're a beautiful couple, I love how you take care of one another, how you make each other laugh.

There was a show in the 80’s called Perfect Strangers that was really funny and every time you guys do your “happy dance” it reminds me of “The dance of joy!”. Lol

I made it today. I found the Montasio in NJ! It was delicious even though I took some liberties with the recipe. (I couldn’t find the grater so I cubed the potatoes). Next time I’ll do it right!
I need frico! That looks delicious. 😋
🤌🏼🤌🏼!!! I know what I will be making today! Thank you for this video and sending love from New York! ❤

@@ThePasinis Amazing, amazing, amazing!! Such a comforting dish! It didn’t take long for the entire thing to disappear in my house lol I had heard of frico before, but never had it and now this is going into a weekly rotation! 💜🥔🥔🧅🧅💜
My mom is English but married to an Italian (from Calabria), she does something similar but no cheese (she’s not a fan) - she uses left over potatoes and vegetables from a roast dinner and fries them all together. The potatoes get brown and then you eat. Looks very similar to frico - so delicious.
Wonderful dish, we have friends that live in Trieste, he actually has a few restaurants there!! Nice adaptation!! I ordered it online…making it this week!!
Definitely making this dish this week!
Hope you enjoy
It looks amazing
omg can i just move in?..lol.. this is so fun.. My Nonna's family was from Bedonia, near Parma and my Nonno was from San Cassiano, Bagni di Lucca, Lucca.. I love watching you both because it reminds me of my childhood, watching my nonna making Italian food
looks amazing omg
Looks sooo delicious...I need frico! Are you planning on doing any more podcasts?
Che bella coppia che siete! ...e simpatici naturalmente !
