Great as an appetizer or for a fancy dinner, the potato soufflés are a pleasure to eat and are also enjoyed by kids; of course, you can make them with ham if you don’t like pancetta, or add other types of cheese.

Ingredients
- 12 oz potatoes
- 1 egg white
- 1 tsp butter (optional)
- 1 oz sweet pancetta
- 6 slices bacon
- 1 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese (omitted)
- 1 pinch pepper
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 tbsp milk (omitted)
- 2.5 oz provola
Steps
In the recipe, I omitted butter due to the presence of pancetta; if you change the cured meat, add it at your discretion.
Parmesan is, of course, optional as is pepper; I removed them for intolerance reasons.
Wash the potatoes well and boil them, then mash them with a potato masher and collect the puree in a bowl.
If needed, add a bit of milk, combine the egg white, diced pancetta, provola, Parmesan, pepper, and salt, and mix well.
The egg white should be whipped, but I added it as is and worked the mixture well with a spoon.
Place two slices of bacon in a cross inside the molds and pour the mixture, close with the bacon, sprinkle with breadcrumbs, and at this point, you could also oil if you prefer.
Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 15 minutes or in the air fryer at 340°F for 12 minutes.
Unmold, invert onto the serving plate, remove the aluminum mold, and serve.
Bon appétit
