Potato Bake With Prosciutto Recipes

POTATO AND PROSCIUTTO BAKE

Steps:

• Start with the bechamel sauce.
• Heat a saucepan over medium-low heat and start melting the butter. Add the flour and stir until smooth.
• Cook the mixture on medium heat for about 6-7 minutes, until it has a light, golden color.
• Separately, heat the milk in a pan, until just about to boil. Slowly add the hot milk to the butter mixture, whisking continuously until the mixture is very smooth, with no lumps.
• Cook for 10 more minutes, while constantly stirring, and then remove from the heat.
• Season the sauce with salt and nutmeg and leave it aside.
• Preheat the oven to 390 degrees F/200 degrees C.
• Peel and slice the potatoes.
• Cut the prosciutto into small thin strips.
• Grease a baking dish (about 4 inches/10 cm diameter) with butter.
• Add a layer of potatoes, prosciutto, grate nutmeg, add bechamel.
• Continue with potatoes, prosciutto, nutmeg, and bechamel until you finish all the ingredients.
• Top the casserole with grated parmesan.
• Bake for 20 minutes then test the potatoes. If needed, bake more.

EGG, POTATO, AND PROSCIUTTO PIE

Steps:

• Put a baking sheet in middle of oven and preheat oven to 375°F.
• If dough is in 1 piece, cut in half. Roll out each piece into a 12-inch square on a lightly floured surface. Line a 9-inch square baking pan with 1 piece of dough, draping it slightly over sides.
• Stir together onions, oil, and 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper and spread in an even layer over dough. Top with prosciutto. Peel potato and thinly slice (about 1/8 inch thick), then arrange in one layer over prosciutto, overlapping slightly. Crack eggs on top of potatoes, gently arranging yolks so they don't touch one another. Season eggs with 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper.
• Cut several slits in remaining pastry square and lay over top of pie, then crimp edge and trim.
• Bake until pastry is golden brown and puffed, 50 to 60 minutes.

TWICE-BAKED POTATOES WITH MUSHROOMS AND PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• Put an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Using the tines of a fork, prick the skins of the potatoes all over and arrange on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 1 to 1 1/4 hours until tender and cooked through. Remove from the oven and let cool until warm enough to handle, about 20 minutes.
• While the potatoes are cooling, in a medium skillet, heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring frequently, until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms, garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook until the mushrooms are golden and most of the liquid has evaporated, about 6 minutes. Put the mixture into a medium bowl. Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise and, using a small spoon, scoop out all but 1/4-inch of the flesh. Add the potato flesh to the mushroom mixture. Add the butter, oregano, and 1 cup of the cheese. Mix well. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Arrange the potato halves, cut side up on the baking sheet. Using a pastry brush, brush both sides of the potatoes with the remaining 3 tablespoons of olive oil and season the inside with salt and pepper, to taste. Spoon the mushroom mixture into each potato half. Arrange 1 half-piece of prosciutto on top and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Bake until the cheese is melted and the prosciutto is crispy, about 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven, transfer to a serving platter, garnish with chopped parsley and serve.

MINI BAKED POTATOES WITH MASCARPONE AND PROSCIUTTO BITS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Wash and dry the potatoes. Spread a 1/4-inch bed of salt in a baking dish and top with the potatoes. Prick the top of the potatoes. Bake for about 40 minutes, or until the potatoes are cooked throughout.
• Meanwhile, make the prosciutto bits.
• Place a small saute pan over medium-high heat. Place prosciutto in heated pan. Drizzle bits with olive oil, and cook, stirring. The prosciutto will give off steam for about 5 minutes while it releases its moisture. When the hiss of steam turns to a sizzle, turn the heat down to medium low and cook, stirring occasionally, until the prosciutto bits are crisp, about 25 to 30 minutes.
• Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bits to several thicknesses of paper towel to drain. The bits will crisp even more as they cool. (Use immediately or freeze the bits for up to 6 months and warm in a skillet as needed.)
• Remove the potatoes from the oven.
• Cut an x in the top of each potato, and push in the sides to split open. Divide the prosciutto bits, mascarpone or creme fraiche, and chives among the potatoes and serve immediately.
