Authentic Tartiflette Recipe Savoie, France

Quick and simple to make, the tartiflette is a perfect winter dish which requires a single specific ingredient — reblochon cheese, produced in Savoie region in Eastern France. The first step is to prepare the potatoes: they can either be cooked in their skin or peeled and fried with onions and bacon in a skillet. The mixture is then braised with white wine and placed in a baking pan with Reblochon cheese. Half the amount of the cheese goes in the mixture, and the other half covers the top following the French gratin technique, which allows the cheese to melt over the top during baking. The baking temperature is usually between 180 and 200˚C, and the dish is served hot with a side of lettuce.
