TARTIFLETTE



Tartiflette image

This is what I like to think of as the French answer to scalloped potatoes. It comes from the Haute Savoie region of France and can be very rich, although this is a slightly lighter version than others I've seen. I have also had tartiflette as a vegetarian dish by substituting some root vegetables for the bacon.

Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 cups strong cheese, crumbled and firmly packed (reblochon if you can find it although emmenthal, muenster or gruyère will work as well)
1 kg waxy potato (red ones are good)
200 g lardons (diced smoked bacon)
1 onion
butter
1 cup white wine
4 tablespoons cream
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Cook the potatoes in boiling water until a little undercooked.
  • Reserve.
  • Melt the butter in a sauté pan and gently cook sliced onion and lardons, without letting them brown.
  • Slice the potatoes thickly, add them and continue to cook gently for 10 minutes.
  • Add the white wine and allow to reduce.
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • Preheat the oven to moderately hot, butter a gratin dish, and put the potato mixture in it.
  • Pour over the cream.
  • Place the cheese on top and put in the oven for 15-20 minutes, until the cheese has melted into the potatoes.
  • Serve with a lightly dressed green salad.

TARTIFLETTE -- THE INDULGENT VERSION

I have also posted a lighter version of this classic French dish (if you can call any version of it "light") but this is the truly indulgent way to make it. Don't even think of looking at that calorie count. Just sit back and enjoy.
