Tartiflette is a classic, heartwarming French dish originating from the Savoie region, perfect for chilly winter days. This rich and creamy potato gratin is made with smoked bacon, onions, and garlic, then enriched with white wine and cream. It's topped with melting Reblochon cheese, which gives it its distinctive flavor and a golden, bubbly crust. It's a simple yet incredibly flavorful and satisfying meal that is guaranteed to delight the whole family.

Steps

Prepare Potatoes

Peel the potatoes and slice them into 0.5 cm (0.2 inch) thick rounds. Place them in a large pot, cover with cold water, add salt, and bring to a boil. Cook for 5-7 minutes until just tender but still holding their shape. Drain and set aside.

Sauté Bacon and Onion

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the bacon lardons and cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the bacon from the skillet and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pan. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Assemble and Bake

Pour the white wine into the skillet with the onions and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Add the heavy cream, season with salt and pepper to taste, and bring to a gentle boil. In a large baking dish, spread half of the cooked potato slices, then sprinkle with half of the sautéed bacon and onion mixture. Repeat with the remaining potatoes and bacon mixture. Pour the cream and wine sauce over the top. Halve the Reblochon cheese horizontally and place it cut-side up on top of the gratin. Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (180°C fan) for 30-40 minutes, or until the cheese is golden brown and bubbly.

Serve

Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Serve hot with a fresh green salad.

Extra Tips

► For the best flavor, use good quality Reblochon cheese, but if you can't find it, Camembert or Brie can be good substitutes.

► Don't overcook the potatoes; they should be just tender, otherwise they will fall apart during baking.

► Tartiflette is best served with a fresh green salad and a glass of dry white wine.
