Ingredients
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 4 ounces smoked bacon, diced
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 wheel (about 8 ounces) Reblochon cheese, sliced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh thyme, for garnish
If Reblochon is hard to find, you can substitute with Brie or Camembert — both will bring that same creamy texture and rich flavor to your Tartiflette. It’s all about adapting to what you have on hand, a lesson I learned from my grandmother’s kitchen.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Boil the potatoes in salted water until just tender, about 10-15 minutes. Drain and let cool before slicing into 1/4-inch rounds.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the diced bacon to the skillet and cook until crispy. Remove from heat and stir in the white wine, scraping up any bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Layer half of the sliced potatoes in a baking dish. Season with salt and pepper.
- Spread the onion and bacon mixture over the potatoes, then layer with half of the cheese slices.
- Repeat with the remaining potatoes, seasoning, and cheese slices. Pour the heavy cream over the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
- Garnish with fresh thyme before serving.
One of the best tips I can offer is to let the Tartiflette sit for a few minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully, much like the way stories come together in a good book.
