To prepare the potato and bacon pie, first cut the bacon into strips and then into cubes; then remove the peel from the onion and cut it into thin slices; peel the potatoes and cut them into thin slices 4-5 mm with a mandolina or with a knife.<\/p>\n
As you cut the potatoes, place them in a bowl with cold water to prevent them from blackening.<\/p>\n
Put the bacon cubes in a pan, preferably non-stick, and brown them over low heat; add the onions and let them cook over low heat for about twenty minutes with the bacon.<\/p>\n
To flavor at the end of cooking, add salt, pepper and a few sprigs of thyme to taste.<\/p>\n
While the sauce is cooking, blanch the potatoes in boiling water with a little salt and after about 4 minutes put them to dry on a tray with kitchen paper or absorbent paper.<\/p>\n
To prepare the bechamel, heat the milk in a saucepan and, in the meantime, melt the butter in a pan over low heat.<\/p>\n
When the butter is melted, remove the pan from the heat and add the flour, stirring immediately with a whisk to avoid the formation of lumps; then put the pan back on low heat to toast the flour.<\/p>\n
After this step, pour in the hot milk and continue stirring over low heat. To give the b\u00e9chamel more flavor, add a little grated nutmeg.<\/p>\n
To compose the potato and bacon pie, take a Fiamminga (pan) or a 30 \u00d7 22 pan and sprinkle the bottom with one or two tablespoons of bechamel.<\/p>\n
Then put the first layer of potato slices, then the pancetta and a handful of grated Asiago; cover with the b\u00e9chamel and repeat for all the layers.<\/p>\n
To the last layer, add a topping of b\u00e9chamel and, to add flavor, a few leaves of fresh thyme.<\/p>\n
Then cook the pie in a static oven preheated to 180 \u00b0 C for 45 minutes or, if you prefer, in a convection oven at 160 \u00b0 C for 35 minutes.
\nOnce cooked, let it cool slightly before serving.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
