French Rustic Food - La Tartiflette

One of many tartiflette recipes

I love French rustic food on cold days. In the French Alps, the local speciality called "la tartiflette" (gratinated potatoes with reblochon cheese and bacon) is served everywhere. It is really tasty but very filling.

Basic recipe:

• 6 big potatoes
• 2 yellow onions - diced or sliced (I prefer diced because I want to taste the onion but not see it)
• 400 g bacon (if salted, then no need to add salt in this dish) - some prefer smoked - skin removed
• 1 dl thick cream or creme fraiche - on top of the cheese (for air, you can also whip the creme fraiche)

Creamy reblochon

I keep the crust on for more flavour

Served with green salad and dry white

Bon appétit,
