Ingredients and substitutions for the best Tartiflette

  • Potatoes: Maris Piper was used here, though any all rounder potato such as Desiree, Eureka or Russet would work here. Anything that gets soft enough, but holds together when boiled.
  • Bacon: Back bacon was used as it has the most 'meat' and least fat, but you do you, use whatever bacon you want.
  • Onion: A large shallot or small onion works perfectly in adding depth, savoriness and complimenting the rest of the Tartiflette.
  • White wine: Chardonney or Sauvignon Blanc are perfect dry wines that add a depth of flavor to the bacon and onion. If you prefer, you can substitute with vegetable stock and cook as per instructions.
  • Cheese: Reblochon is the most traditional cheese used in this dish, though, it can be either hard to source or incredibly expensive outside of Europe so the most cost effective or best option for creating Tartiflette is to replace in equal measure with Brie cheese.

See recipe card for quantities.

Equipment needed to make a batch

Pot: A heavy pot is best to cook the potatoes.

Heavy based frying pan: A heavy based frying pan or skillet is bet to not only cook the bacon and onion with the wine, but also big enough to stir the potatoes together before placing into your baking dish.

Baking dish: A medium baking dish will be perfect for baking your Tartiflette in.

How to make Tartiflette:

Fill a large pot with enough water to cover your potatoes on medium high heat and cook, with a lid ajar, until they are easily pierced with a knife, approximately 15 minutes.

Remove and drain, setting aside to cool until the potatoes are cool enough to handle and cut into cubes. Set aside.

Preheat your oven to 180C/350F.

Meanwhile, place a heavy frying pan on medium low heat with a drizzle of olive oil.

Toss the bacon into the pan and cook until golden, approximately 5 minutes.

Add the onions, stirring until browned, approximately 2 minutes.

Pour in the wine and return the bacon to the pan, simmering until the wine has evaporated, approximately 5 minutes.

Remove from the heat and stir in the cubed potatoes.

Spoon half the potatoes into your baking dish, spreading out evenly.

Lay half the sliced reblochon cheese on top.

Repeat with the remaining potatoes and cheese.

Place in the oven and bake until golden, approximately 20 minutes.

Remove and serve up immediately.
