[Closed] Tartiflette

It's a proper heart stopper of a dish, but great at the same time.

Recipe? Only ever eaten it on holiday, it seems wrong to cook it somehow 🙂

WTF is it? <scurries off ta google>

ohhhh tato's in cheese...

I recently discovered that replacing the onion with leek can have fantastic results. OMNOMNOM...

decent recipe there - it's all about getting the right potatoes and of course Reblochon.

Cooked it a few months ago, was delicious, then massively failed a choleserol test a few days later.

I think the two incidents are probably connected.

Receipe?
Slice some potatoes and part boil, drain and once cooked add to a baking dish
Season with lots of salt and pepper and a little butter
At the same time fry some pancetta or the like and some onion then add to the potatoes in the baking dish
Season again and perhaps add a glug of dry white wine
Finally add a large slab or 2 of reblochon cheese, covering all of the potatoes.
Throw in the oven for about 30 mins until the cheese is crisp and bubbling

Serve with a green salad dressed with a mustard dressing and ideally some charcuterie.

Absolute filth.

could have contributed to my mates tachycardia - last time we were in the alps together! 😯

That's what I had for tea last night. And very nice it was too.

🙂

s'all about the cheese 🙂

Got to use reblochon and serve with green salad and French bread!

What kind of debauched ne'er-do-well gets to eat Tartiflette for tea on a Thursday night? Outrageous!

I wasn't aware I had to specify the night I could eat it?! 😉 Anyway it was cooked for me. WIN. 🙂

And then eat it in the sunshine by the piste. With a carafe of vin.

No one properly debauched would refer to their evening meal as "tea"! Tea is taken in mid afternoon and involves tea. And cake.

Tea involves a cake?! Doesn't that clog up the spout?

Absolute filth.

Interesting, ta. I assumed it would have cream in it too - sounds way too healthy with your recipe 🙂

Did that (sans vin) on a guided ski day once. Lovely. The rest of the group had a light lunch.

Just as we finished, the guide shouts "Now we race down the black bumps!" Evidently an after lunch tradition for his clients (all had previous!)

It still tasted great as it repeated on me!

I get to eat it one night a year IF I'm in France. And it has to be snowing.

If I disguise it as a pizza, would that be OK?

I suppose you also have dinner in the evening instead of about half twelve don't you!

I think I may have to do Tartiflette over the weekend. Its a while since my arteries have had me declare war on them 😀

Is it 'supper' where you're from then Flashy? That's even wronger. Supper involves Horlicks and is taken ones smoking jacket, while scratching ones plums, watching Newsnight 😀

love it, use Reblochon when I can get it if not I make do with Camembert, I boil the spuds in milk and fry onions, pancetta or bacon with some finely chopped chilli's and garlic to give it a bit of a kick 🙂

Tartiflette pizza is rather good as well, but for me at least, not as good as the real thing.

Breakfast, Lunch then Dinner. With occasional stops en route for elevenses or tea.

That is all.

Yes, cause that what time dinner is! Lunch is @ 12.30(ish) in the afternoon..
Bugger friday and I agree with CF.

EDIT: Hmm, way too slow

I had a dose of food poisoning that coincided with a tartiflette lunch. Having tasted it on the way in and way out, it's slightly ruined for me.

On the other hand it's a TOP way to get recharged at the top of a mountain (had a massive pile of greasy, salty goodness with spuds in a refuge in the pyrenees).
