Ingredients
300 g potatoes
150 g Grana Padano (16 months)
600 ml whole milk
60 g lard
200 g pork cracklings
100 g sour cream (organic)
200 g French beans
1 egg yolk
salt and pepercorns
bay leaf
45 g proespuma (hot)
400 ml white wine vinegar
200 g caster sugar
Preparation
STEP 1
First, wash the potatoes and put them whole in the oven (170° C), for 40 minutes. In the meantime, vacuum seal the milk and chunks of Grana Padano and put them in the waterbath (75° C) for 15-20 minutes. After 15 minutes, mix the content with a hand blender, put it through a sieve and mix in the proespuma. We put the mixture in a siphon and mix it through with 2 cream chargers per bottle. Keep it warm.
STEP 2
Make a 3:2:1 pickle (water, white wine, vinegar, sugar), bring it to a boil with spices (bay leaf, pepercorns), put in the French beans (quartered) and boil for 2-3 minutes. Leave to cool.
STEP 3
Thinly slice the lard and put it between baking paper and leave it in the freezer. Take it out just before service.
STEP 4
When the potatoes are baked, half them and mash them together with the egg yolk and a pinch of flour. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Make 5-6 cm wide circles (50-60g). Shallow fry them in a pan with oil, drain and put on a tray, heat them up in the oven before serving.
STEP 5
To serve, put each hot potato pancake on the bottom of a plate. Heat the french beans (30g per portion) through with some pork cracklings and put them on top of the potato. Put a spoon of sour cream on top. Cover everything with the Grana Padano foam. Put a slice of lardo on top of the foam.
