Saturday 20 December - Tartiflette

A busy day redecorating the dining room, and we hadn't really given a thought to food - I rather fancied a fondue, but then we couldn't remember where the fondue set had ended up after the kitchen refit, and didn't want to start looking. I then remembered about Tartiflette - and fancied trying this out. This meant a trip out to find reblochon - and once we'd found some in Waitrose bought it despite the price!

The dish started with some waxy potatoes which were then cubed and fried

Then onions and bacon were fried, before adding wine, and then some cream

Then it was all layered up, potatoes, then the bacon and onion mix, followed by half the reblochon - then the layers were repeated.

This was then baked, and finished under the grill for a crisp top.

Possibly one of the nicest, but richest and most filling things I've ever cooked.
