Recipe: Tartiflette
Description: Tartiflette, a classic dish hailing from the Haute Savoie region of France, is akin to the French version of scalloped potatoes. While traditionally rich, this recipe offers a slightly lighter take on the dish. For vegetarians, it can be adapted by substituting root vegetables for the bacon, maintaining its delightful essence.

Instructions:
-
Cook Potatoes: Begin by cooking the potatoes in boiling water until they are slightly undercooked. Once done, set them aside.
-
Prepare Onion and Lardons: In a sauté pan, melt the butter over gentle heat. Add the sliced onion and lardons, ensuring they cook gently without browning.
-
Slice Potatoes: Slice the slightly undercooked potatoes into thick slices. Add them to the sauté pan with the onion and lardons, continuing to cook gently for about 10 minutes.
-
Deglaze with White Wine: Pour in the white wine, allowing it to deglaze the pan and reduce slightly.
-
Season: Season the potato mixture with salt and pepper according to taste.
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to a moderately hot temperature. Butter a gratin dish to prepare it for baking.
-
Assemble Tartiflette: Transfer the potato mixture into the buttered gratin dish, ensuring it spreads evenly.
-
Add Cream: Pour the cream over the potato mixture, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
-
Top with Cheese: Place the cheese on top of the potato mixture, covering it completely.
-
Bake: Place the gratin dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and formed a golden crust on top of the potatoes.
-
Serve: Once baked to perfection, remove the Tartiflette from the oven and serve hot, accompanied by a lightly dressed green salad for a refreshing contrast of flavors.
