If you’re looking for a hearty and comforting dish to warm you up on a cold winter night, look no further than Tartiflette. This traditional French dish hails from the Alpine region of Savoie and is a delicious combination of potatoes, cheese, and bacon.
The first step to making Tartiflette is to cook the potatoes until they’re tender. You’ll then cook the onions and bacon in a skillet until they’re golden brown and crispy. Once these ingredients are ready, you’ll layer them in a baking dish with the cooked potatoes and pour heavy cream over the top. The dish is then topped with sliced reblochon cheese and baked in the oven until the cheese is melted and golden brown.
Ingredients:
2 lbs. potatoes, peeled and sliced
1 onion, chopped
8 oz. lardons (cubes of bacon)
8 oz. reblochon cheese, sliced
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 tbsp. butter
Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cook the potatoes in a large pot of salted boiling water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened and lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the lardons to the skillet and cook until they’re crispy and golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
- Layer the cooked potatoes in a large baking dish. Top with the onion and lardon mixture.
- Pour the heavy cream over the potatoes, onions, and lardons. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Top the mixture with the sliced reblochon cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is melted and golden brown.
