  • 1 Large deep frypan
  • 1 Perforated steam container

Ingredients

  • oil spray

Potatoes

  • 800 g potatoes

Sauce

  • 1 zucchini
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • ½ brown onion
  • 200 g bacon
  • 1 tbsp / 15 ml olive oil
  • 2 tbsp flour or gluten-free flour
  • 1 cup / 250 ml milk
  • 1 cube vegetable stock
  • 100 g cheese
  • 1 tbsp Italian herbs

Greens

  • 1 broccoli
  • 2 cups / 280 g peas

Instructions

Before you start

  1. Preheat your Combi Steam oven to 200 °C fan bake and level 3 or 60% steam. Spray a large baking dish with oil spray.

Prep ingredients

  1. Wash and slice 800 g potatoes about 5mm thick. Transfer the potatoes to the prepared baking dish and spread them out evenly. Set aside. Finely chop 200 g bacon. Peel and mince 2 cloves garlic. Peel and finely dice ½ brown onion. Grate 1 zucchini.

Make sauce

  1. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large deep frypan on medium-high heat. Cook the bacon for 5 minutes, until golden and crispy. Add the garlic, onion and zucchini and cook for 2 minutes. Add 2 tbsp flour and stir to combine. Gradually whisk in 1 cup milk and ½ cup water until smooth. Add 1 cube vegetable stock, 1 tbsp Italian herbs and grate in 100 g cheese (reserve some for the top). Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes or until thickened.
    Tip: Stir frequently, ensuring it does not come to a boil, as this could split the sauce.

Bake potatoes

  1. Carefully pour the sauce over the potatoes in the baking dish so they're covered. Place on shelf level 2 in the preheated Combi Steam oven and bake for 1 hour. Remove from the oven and sprinkle over the reserved cheese. Adjust the oven function to fan grill. Place the potatoes back in the Combi Steam oven and grill for 3-5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and golden.

Steam greens

  1. While the potatoes are baking, cut 1 broccoli into small florets. Place the broccoli and 2 cups peas into a perforated steam container. When the potato bake is finished cooking, remove it from the oven and set aside to cool. Adjust the oven function to 100% steam. Add the broccoli and peas to the preheated combi steam oven and cook for 4-8 minutes until cooked to your liking. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

To serve

  1. Divide the cheesy bacon and potato bake between plates and serve the steamed greens on the side.
