Tartiflette
by Rachel Allen from Rachel鈥檚 Everyday Kitchen (Harper NonFiction)
听
Each valley in the Haute Savoie region in France seems to have its own recipe for tartiflette, all no doubt making use of the area鈥檚 own Reblochon cheese.听 Here is my version of this wonderfully rich potato, onion & cheese gratin, which changes every time we make it at home, depending on what cheese we have in the fridge, or indeed what needs using up, such as leftovers from a roast ham.
听
Serves 4-6
Prep time 15 mins
Cooking time 50 mins
听
Ingredients
500g (1lb 2oz) potatoes, peeled, & halved if large, or cooked potatoes (see tip below)
Salt & freshly ground black pepper
1 tbsp olive oil (optional)
200g (7oz) rindless bacon or cooked ham, cut into 0.5cm (录 x 戮 in) pieces
100g (3陆 oz) Cheddar cheese, or a mixture of Cheddar & Gruy猫re, grated
1 small shallot or 1 small red onion, peeled & finely sliced
1 clove of garlic, peeled & finely chopped
1 tsp chopped thyme leaves
200g (7oz) Camembert, or other semi-soft cheese, rind left on & cut into wedges (5mm/录in at the thickest part)
200ml (7fl oz) single or regular cream
听
Equipment
25cm (10in) diameter ovenproof dish
听
Method
First boil the potatoes (if cooking from scratch).
Place the potatoes in a large saucepan, cover with water & add 1 tsp of salt.
Bring to the boil & cook for 20-25 mins or until tender, then remove from the heat.听 Drain & allow to cool a little before cutting into thick slices.
To cook the bacon (if using), add the olive oil to a frying pan on a medium heat.听 When the oil is hot, tip in the bacon pieces & fry, stirring frequently, for 4-5 mins or until lightly browned.听 Remove from the pan & set aside.
Preheat the oven to a 220C (425F), Gas mark 7.
Arrange the potato slices on the base of the ovenproof dish, then scatter over the grated cheese with the sliced shallot or red onion, garlic & thyme.听 Next scatter over the cooked bacon or ham.听 Arrange the cheese wedges over the top then pour over the cream & season with salt & pepper.
Place in the oven to bake for 15-20 mins or until golden & bubbling.听 Serve with a green salad if you wish.
This dish can be assembled in advance up to the point of baking & will keep, covered, in the fridge for up to 24hrs.
Though best eaten straight away, any leftovers can be kept in the fridge & reheated again the next day in the oven (preheated to 180C/350F/Gas mark 4) for 30 mins or until hot.
The quantities in this recipe can be easily halved or multiplied, depending on how many people you鈥檙e feeding.听 If doubling quantities, use two dishes or one larger one, baking for a few extra minutes longer in the latter instance.
