Tartiflette (French potato, bacon, and cheese casserole)

Step 1

Preheat oven to 200°C/400°F. Add potatoes to a pot of cold water. The water should be enough to cover the potatoes. Season with salt, then bring to a boil over medium-high heat and let boil for approx. 10 - 15 min., or until fork tender. Drain and let cool.

Step 2

In the meantime, peel and mince onions and garlic. Roughly chop bacon. Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat and sauté bacon and onions for approx. 3 min. Add garlic and sauté for 2 min. more. Deglaze with white wine and let cook for approx. 2 min.

Step 3

Peel and slice cooked, cooled potatoes. Add half of the potato slices to a baking dish. Season with salt and pepper and top with half of the bacon-onion mixture. Layer over half the sliced Reblochon and repeat the process with remaining ingredients. Cover with milk and bake at 200ºC/400ºF for approx. 30 – 40 min., until the top is golden brown. Enjoy!
