1 cup creme fraiche
3 tablespoons chives
1 tablespoon butter
1 glass dry white wine
1 onion
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Clean potatoes and cut them by half.

  • Peel and slice potatoes.
  • Rinse and dry small chives. Chop them.
  • In a bowl, combine creme fraiche with wine and small chives. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Grease an ovenproof dish. Start by arranging a layer of potato slices at the bottom of the dish. Top with bacon dices and onion, then spread the cream mixture on top. Repeat with another layer of everything.
  • Grate Reblochon's rind lightly with a knife. (Don't take it off! Just grate what's coming off easily).
  • Slice Reblochon cheese into 2 thinner circles, each one having rind on one side and inside cheese on the other side.
  • Place both circles on top of the potato layers with the rind side up and bake in oven for 10 to 15 minutes or until crust is golden and cheese sauce is simmering.

FRENCH TARTIFLETTE

This is a delicious French dish. I think an American would call it a potato casserole of some type. Now that I am in France, I am trying to experiment for my honey's sake!

Categories     Side Dish     Potato Side Dish Recipes     Scalloped Potato Recipes

Time 1h10m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 large potatoes, peeled and sliced
7 slices bacon, chopped
1 tablespoon butter
1 large onion, sliced
¼ cup white wine
2 tablespoons creme fraiche
1 (8 ounce) round Reblochon cheese
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the potatoes, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and allow to steam dry for a minute or two.
  • Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish.
  • Stir-fry bacon in a skillet over medium high heat for about 5 minutes. Remove bacon; pour off bacon fat. In the same skillet, melt the butter, add onions, and cook and stir until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. Return the bacon to the pan, add the wine, and simmer until most of the wine has evaporated. Remove from heat.
  • Place 1/2 of the potatoes into the prepared dish; then spread 1/2 of the bacon mixture over the potatoes. Layer in the remaining potatoes, then spread the creme fraiche over them. Add the remaining half of the bacon mixture. Cut the rind from the Reblochon, cut it into thin slices, and layer the slices evenly over the top of the casserole.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and a bit brown, about 15 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve hot.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the tartiflette will be. Use a good quality Reblochon cheese, and make sure the potatoes are waxy and firm.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. When cooking the potatoes, make sure to spread them out in a single layer so that they can cook evenly.
  • Cook the potatoes until they are golden brown. This will give them a nice crispy texture.
  • Use a good quality white wine. The wine will add flavor to the tartiflette, so make sure to use a wine that you enjoy drinking.
  • Don't overcook the tartiflette. Once the cheese is melted and bubbly, remove the tartiflette from the oven. Overcooking will make the cheese tough.
  • Serve the tartiflette immediately. Tartiflette is best served hot, so make sure to serve it as soon as it is ready.

Conclusion:

Tartiflette is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for a winter meal. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. If you are looking for a new dish to try, I highly recommend tartiflette.
