A tartiflette is a gratin with potatoes, lardons and onions topped with melted savoyard cheese called Reblochon. It is a traditional mountain recipe and a perfect dish for cold weather !
It is particularly nice served with an Apremont, savoie wine.
Ingredients :
- 1kg potatoes
- 250g smoked lardons
- 2 large onions
- 150g crème fraîche
- 1 whole reblochon cheese
- 1 clove of garlic
Method :
- Preheat the oven to 200°C
- Pre-cook the potatoes in a saucepan of salted water (traditionally the potatoes are sautéed but this dish is rich enough so I prefer to boil them)
- In a frying pan gently fry the onions until they are soft and translucent and then add the lardons and continue frying
- Remove from heat and add the creme fraîche or liquid cream and mix well
- Chop the potatoes and mix in with the onion and lardons
- Salt and pepper as necessary
- Cut the garlic clove in half and rub the cut sides around an oven dish
- Place the potato, lardon and onion mix in the oven dish
- Slice the cheese down the middle and place the two round halves crust up on top of the dish
- Bake for 20 minutes until golden brown and nice and crispy
- Serve with a green salad
