How to Make Cholera Pie Swiss Alpine Bacon Potatoes Apple Pie

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Peel and slice 4 large potatoes thinly. Parboil for 5 minutes then drain.
Dice 1 large onion and sauté until softened in 2 tablespoons of butter.
In a large bowl, combine parboiled potatoes, sautéed onion, 1/2 cup diced Valaisian Petit Lard (or pancetta), 1/2 cup shredded Alpine meadow Raclette cheese (or substitute), 2 peeled and thinly sliced apples, 1 teaspoon of dried thyme, salt, and pepper to taste.
Pour mixture into a 9-inch pie dish.
In a separate bowl whisk 2 large eggs with 1/2 cup of milk or cream.
Pour egg mixture over the potato mixture in the pie dish.
Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until golden brown and the filling is cooked through. Check for doneness with a fork.
Let cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
