How to Make Tartiflette Alpine Melted Cheese Bacon And Potato Gratin

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F/Gas Mark 6).
  2. Wash and cook 1 kg potatoes whole in their skins in boiling water for 15 minutes.
  3. While potatoes cook, fry 150g diced bacon until crispy in a heavy pan. Discard excess fat.
  4. Add 1 large chopped onion to the pan and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Do not brown.
  5. Stir in 100ml dry white wine and 150ml crème fraîche. Mix well.
  6. Drain potatoes and peel once cool enough to handle. Slice thinly.
  7. Rub an ovenproof dish (approx. 2-litre capacity) with 2 cloves garlic, cut in half.
  8. Layer half the potatoes in the dish. Season with salt and pepper.
  9. Top with half the bacon and onion mixture.
  10. Cut a whole Reblochon cheese (approx. 500g) in half horizontally. Place one half, rind-side down, on top of the potato mixture.
  11. Add the remaining potato and bacon mixture, seasoning as before.
  12. Place the other half of the Reblochon, rind-side up, on top.
  13. Bake for 10 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 180°C (350°F/Gas Mark 4) and bake for a further 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the potatoes are golden brown.
  14. Serve hot straight from the oven with a fresh green salad, crusty bread, and pickles.
