Notes
- 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.
- 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.
- Alternative for Reblochon: The best and easiest substitute for those who cannot source Reblochon is Brie cheese in equal measure. In fact, the flavor of this cheese is incredibly similar, though Reblochon is far more fragrent during cooking. This website helps in regards to suggesting other replacements.
