TARTIFLETTE

This decadent dish was invented years ago as a way to use up excess Reblochon, a creamy Alpine cheese. Ultimately, it's just a simple dish of bacon, onions, potatoes, cream and the cheese, but the result is indulgent and out of this world.

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened, divided
1/3 medium yellow onion
2 slices bacon, about 4 ounces
3 Yukon Gold potatoes
kosher salt
1 cup heavy cream
1 pound Reblochon cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F and set a pot of salted water to boil. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a saucepan on medium heat. Add the onion slices and bacon to the pan and sweat until the onions are translucent and the bacon is cooked. Do not brown. Season with pepper. Meanwhile, cook the potatoes in the simmering water for twenty minutes, or until cooked but still slightly firm. Drain and let cool. Peel then cut the potatoes into rounds.
  • Butter the casserole dish. Layer the dish with half of the cooked potatoes; lightly season with salt and pepper. Make a layer with half of the onion and bacon mixture. Repeat the layering process with the rest of the potatoes and onion/bacon mixture. Cut cheese into long strips (including the rind) and layer it over the casserole, covering fully. Pour the cream over the casserole. Bake until cheese is melted and golden, about 25-30 minutes.
  • Remove casserole from oven, spoon onto plates, and serve.

TARTIFLETTE

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.

TARTIFLETTE

A very easy recipe to make, perfect for a winter's day. I first tried tartiflette whilst in a small cafe in Lille. I had to ask for the recipe as I enjoyed it so much! It originates from the Savoie region of France - a fairly new French dish, created by the makers of Reblochon cheese during the 80's. Reblochon cheese can be hard to get hold of so I've recommended substitutes which work equally well. However, if you can get hold of Reblochon it's well worth it.

Categories     Pork

Time 45m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

350 g camembert cheese or 350 g gruyere
1 1/3 kg potatoes
1 large white onion (roughly chopped)
2 garlic cloves (crushed or halved)
200 g lardons
40 ml white wine (just do it to taste)
2 tablespoons creme fraiche
salt
pepper
75 g butter
2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Peel the potatoes and boil in salted water until just tender. Drain them and when they're cool enough, slice.
  • Heat half the butter and oil together in a frying or saute pan and fry the potatoes until golden. Season with salt and pepper and put them into a shallow ovenproof dish.
  • Heat the rest of the butter and oil in the same saute pan and cook the lardons over a fairly high heat to colour them well. Turn the heat down, add the onion and cook it until soft and just beginning to colour. Throw in the garlic and cook for another couple of minutes. Whilst cooking add white wine, normally about 1/2 a glass is sufficient.
  • Cut the reblochon into slices and trim the rind. Dot spoonfuls of creme fraiche all over the potatoes and cover with the slices of reblochon. Bake in an oven, pre-heated to 190 C, for 15 minutes. The cheese should be melted and bubbling. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the tartiflette will be. Look for creamy Reblochon cheese, firm potatoes, and flavorful bacon.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. Make sure there is enough space for the potatoes to cook evenly. If the pan is too crowded, the potatoes will steam instead of fry and will not be as crispy.
  • Cook the potatoes until they are golden brown. This will ensure that they are cooked through and have a nice crispy texture.
  • Use a good quality white wine. The wine will help to deglaze the pan and add flavor to the dish.
  • Don't overcook the Reblochon cheese. The cheese should be melted and gooey, but not browned.
  • Serve the tartiflette immediately. This dish is best enjoyed hot out of the oven.

Conclusion:

Tartiflette is a delicious and indulgent dish that is perfect for a cold winter night. It is also a relatively easy dish to make, so it is a great option for home cooks of all skill levels. With a few simple tips, you can make a tartiflette that will impress your friends and family.
