Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 kg Potatoes
- 500 g Reblochon cheese (or similar soft, washed-rind cheese)
- 300 g Smoked bacon lardons
- 2 large Onions
- 125 ml Dry white wine
- 200 ml Double cream
- 30 g Unsalted butter
- 2 large Garlic cloves
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
Instructions
Peel and slice the potatoes into 0.5 cm thick rounds. Boil them in salted water for 8-10 minutes until just tender, but not fully cooked. Drain and set aside.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
While the potatoes are boiling, peel and thinly slice the onions, and finely chop the garlic.
Melt the butter in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic and sauté for 5-7 minutes until soft and translucent.
Add the smoked bacon lardons to the pan and cook for another 5 minutes until they are golden and slightly crispy. Remove from heat.
Deglaze the pan by adding the white wine. Stir well, scraping up any bits from the bottom of the pan, and let it simmer for 2 minutes.
Add the double cream to the pan and mix thoroughly. Season with salt and black pepper, keeping in mind the saltiness of the bacon.
Slice the Reblochon cheese in half horizontally to create two thinner rounds, then cut into smaller wedges for even melting.
Grease a large baking dish (approximately 9x13 inches) with a little butter or oil.
Layer half of the boiled potato slices in the dish. Spread half of the onion, bacon, and cream mixture evenly over the potatoes. Repeat with the remaining potatoes and bacon mixture.
Evenly distribute the Reblochon cheese wedges across the top, rind side up.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the top is golden, bubbling, and fragrant.
Serve hot with a crisp green salad and crusty bread for an authentic French mountain meal.
