Steps:
- Boil the potatoes in their jacket for about 20 to 30 minutes until cooked.
- Drain the potatoes and leave them to cool a little before peeling them and slicing them To prepare the Bechamel, melt butter in a large saucepan over medium-low heat.
- Pour the flour over the melted butter and mix well to form a soft dough.
- Maintaining a low heat, add progressively the milk to the dough, mixing well until all the milk is absorbed and continue pouring the milk until obtaining a sauce that is not not too thick (it should only be thick enough to coat the eggs and potatoes).
- Season the bechamel with salt and nutmeg.
- Slice the boiled eggs and add them to the bechamel.
- Add the sliced potatoes to the bechamel sauce, mixing delicately so not to mash them.
- Serve at once.
Tips:
- For perfectly boiled eggs, place them in a single layer in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then cover and remove from heat. Let stand for 10-12 minutes for soft-boiled eggs, 15-18 minutes for medium-boiled eggs, and 20-22 minutes for hard-boiled eggs.
- To easily peel boiled eggs, place them in a bowl of ice water for a few minutes before peeling.
- For a creamy béchamel sauce, use equal parts butter and flour. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat, then whisk in the flour. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly. Slowly whisk in the milk until the sauce is smooth and thick. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
- To prevent the potatoes from sticking to the pan, use a non-stick skillet or pan. You can also add a little bit of oil or butter to the pan before adding the potatoes.
- For a crispy potato crust, cook the potatoes over medium-high heat until they are golden brown and crispy.
- To make ahead, boil the eggs and potatoes up to 3 days in advance. Store them in the refrigerator until ready to use. When ready to serve, reheat the eggs and potatoes in the béchamel sauce until warmed through.
