Ingredients

• 2 pounds of potatoes
• 8 ounces of slab bacon, cut into lardons
• 1 large onion, thinly sliced
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 cup of dry white wine
• 1 cup of heavy cream
• 10.5 ounces of Reblochon cheese, cut into thin slices
• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

1. Peel the potatoes and cut them into thick slices. Place them in a pot of salted boiling water and cook until they are tender but still firm. Drain and set aside.
2. In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and set aside, leaving the fat in the skillet.
3. Add the sliced onions to the skillet and cook until they are caramelized, about 10 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
4. Increase the heat to high and pour in the white wine. Let it simmer for a few minutes until the liquid is reduced by half.
5. Reduce the heat to low and pour in the heavy cream. Stir well and season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
7. Grease a baking dish with butter or cooking spray. Layer half of the cooked potatoes in the bottom of the dish.
8. Spread half of the caramelized onions and garlic mixture over the potatoes, followed by half of the crispy bacon.
9. Place half of the sliced Reblochon cheese on top of the bacon.
10. Repeat the layers with the remaining potatoes, onions and garlic mixture, bacon, and Reblochon cheese.
11. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes.
12. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the top is golden brown.
13. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
14. Serve the Tartiflette warm and enjoy the creamy, cheesy goodness!
