Tartiflette<br />

This rich and cheesy potato gratin makes a fabulous warming supper.<br />

Serve with salad and crusty bread.<br />

Ingredients<br />

1kg Charlotte potatoes, halved<br />

1 tbsp olive oil<br />

2 small onions, peeled and thinly sliced<br />

1 garlic clove, peeled and crushed<br />

4 smoked bacon rashers, finely chopped<br />

100ml dry white wine<br />

100ml double cream<br />

4 tbsp crème fraiche<br />

Salt and freshly ground black pepper<br />

150g Reblochon cheese, rind removed<br />

and sliced<br />

Sprig of parsley, to garnish<br />

Method<br />

1 Boil the potatoes in a large pan of lightly salted water until just tender.<br />

Drain well, cool for 10 minutes then cut into thin slices. Preheat the<br />

oven to 200C / fan 180C / gas mark 6.<br />

2 Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat and fry the<br />

onions and garlic for 5-6 minutes, stirring. Add the chopped bacon<br />

and continue cooking until the onions are golden and tender. Pour the<br />

wine into the pan and bring to the boil. Boil until the liquid has almost<br />

evaporated.<br />

3 Layer the potatoes and onion mixture in a large square baking dish. Mix<br />

together the cream and crème fraiche and season with salt and freshly<br />

ground black pepper. Pour over the potatoes.<br />

4 Lay the cheese slices on top. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30<br />

minutes until golden and bubbling. Serve garnished with parsley.<br />

TIP: Use any other cheese you prefer. Try mature Cheddar, taleggio or Gruyere.
