Tartiflette. Nom!

[kittyP]

That looks like amazeballs festival food.
Why have I not come across them before?

 

[DotCommunist]

I've done my googling and am still not sure. Is this a melt/burgery type solid thing or a stew/potroast?

cos I want to try it.

You said that word. You actually said it.

Neither. Read the thread dude

I am aware of that.
I say it all the time

It's more like a melt but the closest thing to it is potatoes dauphinoise I guess, with added extras.

Anyone tried making it without the bacon? (sorry, crap weedy vegetarian question )

There's some online recipes which suggest using mushrooms instead of bacon.

I think ones with a strong flavour would work best.

Ooooh I like that idea!

...but without the goosefat?

 

[Orang Utan]

It would probably be just fine without bacon. All that cheese and spud tastes lush anyway.

 

[kittyP]

I am wondering how long it will keep after cooking?
If I do it tomorrow evening (yes yes I know, it's getting later) will it keep til Tuesday?

 

[Boudicca]

I keep coming back to this thread to see if Kitty has actually made the tartiflette yet! It was looking promising on page 2 and sheo was joining in, but no pictures or reports so far.

The internet is waiting.

Sorry, tomorrow...... ;p

 

[Maggot]

I'm planning on making a veggie one tomorrow too.

I am still going for the original but butter instead of goosefat and mushrooms in place of bacon does still sound lush.

 

[Maggot]

Right, I've got all the ingredients. The only thing I wasn't sure about was the wine - I couldn't find any Savoie wines so just got a bottle of french white.

Was certainly the case here! Made what I thought was a huge enough batch to have more the next day but both the kids, EVEN fussy daughter (melted cheese is acceptable these days, but I had anticipated she may still moan about the flavour ) came back an hour or so after we had the first serving and asked for seconds and then, when they'd had that and I'd had seconds myself, my son came back and asked if he could have MORE but it was ALL GONE by then!

I've given it a good go but couldn't finish one to myself

Nice one, Maggot - did you use mushrooms in the end?

Yes, based on this recipe. http://vegetarianandveganfrance.com/2009/11/06/vegetarian-tartiflette-recipe-tartiflette-vegetarien/

But only one layer of potatoes, butter instead of oil, and I added some wine. Was delicious, and would work with other veg too.

Tartiflette is on tonight
Badgers is just chopping the onions (I hate doing it) and then I am taking over.
I am having to tweak exactly how it is cooked slightly as I have a new huge skillet pan that transfers to the oven so don't want to transfer to a gratin dish as this pan is gorgeous.
I will just add the garlic to the mix near the end of the cooking on the top.

I saw a huge pan of it bubbling away in Columbia Road yesterday - was very tempting but we were skint, so had peanut butter sandwiches instead. Peanut butter sandwiches rock.

 

[kittyP]

Just gone in the oven

 

[Orang Utan]

That's gonna be cheesy!

MY GOD, LOOK AT THE STATE OF THAT COOKER

 

[kittyP]

MY GOD, LOOK AT THE STATE OF THAT COOKER

Lots of it happened in the process of this. It was pretty clean before, honest

Did you layer the onion and bacon mixture over the potatoes, or mix them all in together?
