Tartiflette

      I’ve been trying to find a good recipe for this savoyard region – and this is a bit of a mix of a few. I’ve seen a few recipes with cream, but am pretty sure this is wrong. I’m going with the bacon, spuds, onion and cheese version.
      • 5 medium potatoes (waxyish, or something that won’t fall apart)
      • pancetta (cubed smokey bacon. 1 big handfull/ 2 supermarket packs.)
      • an onion, sliced 
      • 1clove garlic
      • 1 petit reblochon cheese (bottom crust cut off
  1. Boil the potatoes and slice.
  2. fry the lardons, add the onions and finally garlic. (don’t overcook the garlic, it’ll taste nasty)
  3. In a dish, layer the potatoes with bacon/onion mix,  potato = top layer.
  4. Place the cheese on top (crust up). it’ll melt around the dish.
  5. Bake in a moderately hot oven until the cheese melts and bubbles.

Job done. You’re now a french peasant.
