Traditional French Tartiflette

METHOD

1. Boil the potatoes in salted water for 15 minutes.

2. Once the potatoes have cooled, remove them from the water and peel. Cut them into large dice. The potato should still be firm and undercooked.

3. In a large frying pan, heat up the oil and then add the potatoes, shaking the pan to make sure they colour evenly.

4. Cut the smoked bacon into large dice and add to the pan.

5. Lightly season with salt and add a generous amount of pepper. Once the potato and bacon have coloured, drain and place into an ovenproof dish.

6. Cover the potatoes with the sliced Reblochon (do not remove the skin of the cheese).

7. Place in an oven at 180°C for 15 minutes and then under the grill for a few seconds to completely melt and brown the cheese.

8. Serve and enjoy.

Instesad of Reblochon cheese, why not try soft cow’s milk cheese?
