It will make home cooks “forget all about potatoes au gratin.”
For example, I’ve never been especially drawn to French cuisine.
I know; thats an unpopular opinion.

What Is Tartiflette?
Simply Recipes / Kris Osborne
Tartiflette is a baked potato casserole from Savoy, France.
While they cool, dice some slab bacon and get it sizzling in a pan.
Though it lacks Reblochons funkiness, Brie is a decent substitute.

If you prefer something with a more robust flavor, you’re free to try Camembert.
But, honestly, were talking about a dish of potatoes and bacon; nearly any cheese works.
Thats where the magic happens.
It is a rich, hearty dish that could easily steal the spotlight as a main course.
At dinnertime, my daughter pushed hers aside and asked if there were more potatoes.
To my delight, she had sequestered them on her plate because she was saving the best for last.
To balance it out, I served mine with a simpleroast chickenand afresh green saladdressed in a tart vinaigrette.
The acidity cut through the tartiflettes creaminess.
Any dry white wine will complement the dish.
It also reminded me to staycuriousand try new things when cooking.
