Instructions: Pan bake the potatoes for 30 minutes. Let them cool, then skin, grate, and set aside.

Saute the bacon until it is golden brown; add the shallots and the garlic and saute for an additional 15 seconds. Add the corn, thyme, and basil and saute for 30 seconds.

Remove the mixture from the pan and let cool. In a mixing bowl, place the egg and cream; whip; add the bleu cheese, potatoes and the corn-bacon mixture. Season with salt and white pepper.

Spray stainless steel molds with Vegalene. Put the potato mixture in the rings and place them on a sheet pan covered with parchment paper. Bake for 18-20 minutes at 350 degrees. Remove from the oven and let cool. Remove the rings.
