This is a very easy albeit traditional Savoie recipe, so it makes sense to pair it with Savoie wine. 

I also like this dish because it is not expensive, traditional, and TASTY!! It's more of a cold weather dish, but once I cooked it August on a “cooler” day because I had a taste for it.

I should probably mention that this isn't my recipe either. Nope. It comes from the great chef, Anthony Bourdain. I would also like to mention that if no one was around, I would just eat it straight from the dish with the big serving spoon. 

Ingredients

Serves 4

Method

Preheat the oven to 175°C. Place the potatoes in the pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Cook for about 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are easily pierced with the knife. Remove from the heat, drain, and let sit until they are cool enough to touch.

Cut the potatoes into small dices and set aside. In a sauté pan add the bacon and cook until browned. Take out the bacon. Cook the onion in the bacon fat until it is golden brown.

Next, add the potatoes and season with salt and pepper. Add the bacon back into the pan. Pour half of the ingredients into a baking dish and top with half of the cheese. Repeat with the rest of the potatoes and the cheese. Bake in the oven for 20 to 30 minutes, or until bubbly.

Meanwhile send a text message to Anthony Bourdain and ask him to pick up some Savoie wine. If he doesn't respond, you can make yourself feel better by eating the Tartiflette straight out the pan with the big serving spoon. I won't judge you.  Just be careful not to burn your mouth on the cheese ;)
