TARTIFLETTE



Tartiflette image

This Alpine potato and bacon casserole bakes up golden and gloriously gooey thanks to the slices of soft, pungent rind cheese nestled on top. More traditional recipes call for boiling the potatoes separately in one pot, browning the onion and bacon in a skillet, and then combining everything into a casserole dish for baking. This streamlined version accomplishes it all in one large sauté pan. Serve this with a leafy salad of peppery, bitter greens to cut the richness.

Time 1h20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 ounces thick-cut bacon, diced
2 medium yellow onions, diced (about 2 1/2 cups)
2 garlic cloves, finely grated or minced
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh thyme leaves
Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
2 pounds Yukon gold or other waxy potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes (about 5 1/2 cups)
3/4 cup dry white wine
Kosher salt and black pepper
8 to 10 ounces soft cow's milk cheese with a bloomy rind, such as Reblochon, Camembert or Brie
1/2 cup crème fraîche

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Add bacon to a cold (10- to 12-inch) skillet and place the pan over medium heat. Let bacon cook until some of the fat renders and the edges turn golden, about 7 to 10 minutes. (You're not looking to crisp the bacon.)
  • Add onions to the pan and raise the heat to medium-high. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and soft, about 10 minutes longer. Stir in garlic, thyme and nutmeg, and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  • Add potatoes, wine, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and toss until well combined. Cover the pan and cook, stirring every once in a while so nothing sticks, until potatoes are just tender and the liquid has mostly evaporated, 20 to 25 minutes. If the pan dries out while the potatoes are cooking, add a splash or two of water.
  • Leaving the rind on, cut the cheese into slices or wedges. Stir crème fraîche into the potatoes, then nestle the cheese in evenly. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake, uncovered, until the cheese melts and the potatoes are very tender, 25 to 35 minutes. Serve hot or warm.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or Red Bliss, hold their shape better than starchy potatoes, such as Russet, and are ideal for Alpine Potatoes.
  • Slice the potatoes evenly: This will ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Give the potatoes enough space so that they can brown properly.
  • Cook the potatoes over medium heat: This will prevent them from burning.
  • Flip the potatoes halfway through cooking: This will ensure that they brown evenly on both sides.
  • Season the potatoes generously: Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder are all good choices.
  • Serve the potatoes immediately: They are best when they are hot and crispy.
