This is a delicious recipe based on a traditional Alpine dish, which showcases Reblochon – a smooth creamy cheese with a thin rind and fantastic melting properties
Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time35 minutes
Course: Appetizer, Main, Light Snack, Light Meal
Cuisine: French
Keyword: Comfort food, Winter warmers, Tartiflette, Cheese lovers, Reblochon
Servings: 6 People

Ingredients

  • 1 kg Charlotte or other firm salad potatoes
  • 2 tbsp light olive oil
  • 200 g smoked bacon lardons
  • 1 large red onion sliced
  • 1 garlic clove finely chopped
  • 100 ml dry white wine or vermouth
  • 200 ml double cream
  • 230 g Reblochon cheese cut into slices
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 200oC/400F/Gas 7.
  • Give the potatoes a wash, put into a pan and cover with cold water then add a good pinch of salt.
  • Bring to the boil, and simmer gently for 10 – 15 minutes or until the potatoes are almost cooked but still slightly firm.
  • Remove the pan from the heat, drain away the water using a colander and allow the potatoes to cool a little.
  • Meanwhile, heat a frying pan until hot and fry the bacon lardons, red onion and garlic for 4-5 minutes, or until golden-brown. Deglaze the pan with the white wine and continue to cook until most of the liquid has evaporated. Remove from the heat and stir in the cream.
  • Slice the potatoes thinly and add to the pan with the onions and bacon and stir gently. Transfer to a large oven proof dish. Season well with salt and plenty of black pepper. Layer the Reblochon slices on top.
  • Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is golden-brown and bubbling.

Notes

If you can’t get hold of Reblochon, camembert is a pretty good substitute.
