Tartiflette: a delicious cheesecake from Europe

Tartiflette – a recipe for potato casserole with onions and bacon appeared in Savoy, southeastern France. Also, tartiflette will serve as a side dish on the holiday table.

The original uses Reblochon cheese but can be replaced by Camembert. With a different cheese, you will get a completely different taste.

Ingredients:

• Potatoes – 1 kg;
• Smoked bacon – 350 g;
• Onion – 2 pieces;
• Dry white wine – 150 ml;
• Cream – 200 ml;
• Cheese – 400 g.
• Cooking time: 1 hour.

Preparation:

1. Cut the potatoes into slices (or cubes, whatever you like) and boil in salted water for 5-7 minutes.
2. Cut the onion into half rings and fry until transparent, add the bacon, cut into cubes or slices. Fry until the bacon is slightly cooked.
3. Mix wine with cream, salt, pepper and pour the potatoes. You can do without wine, but then you need to take more cream.
4. Then, cut the cheese into slices and spread on top. Take any cream cheese and rub on a fine grater. Reblochon cheese has a creamy texture and forms a crust. The closest analogue of Reblochon is Camembert cheese. But we tried to cook with cream cheese. It also turns out tasty. The main thing is not to bake for a long time, otherwise, the cheese will be too hard.
5. Put everything in the oven for 20-30 minutes at a temperature of 180 degrees.

Serve tartiflette while hot. Bon appetit!
