Tartiflette. Nom!

[twentythreedom]

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

I will let you off on account of the amount of cheese there is

 

[kittyP]

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

The recipe I used said to mix it all together.

 

[kittyP]

I think it is going to take a bit longer to cook than the recipe says as it's almost double the ingredients

They actually sell tartiflette cheese in France for about 3 euros. I just bought some based on this thread.

 

[kittyP]

It is fucking delicious. Very winey

 

[Boudicca]

That looks very bad for you and very delicious!

I can feel my arteries hardening but it's worth it.

 

[kittyP]

Crispy crispy leftovers for tea tonight

It will be vegetables for dinner for the rest of January.

Were the potatoes properly cooked without parboiling them first?

Yep perfectly.
I used Biddly's tip of using new potatoes (sliced) as they cook well whilst not losing there integrity iyswim?

I also nearly doubled the cooking time as I used almost double the ingredients.
Could maybe have done with a little less as the edges were extra crispy and the pan is still soaking

Sainsburys sell this apparently, will have to see if I can find it.

It's so easy to make though

As OU said it is dead easy to make. And not very expensive if you don'e buy the very best of cured meats. Even the Rebelchon was only £3 for a half round which is all you really need.
I only got two coz my lovely lovely new pan was so big
But if you think that's all your gonna get around to, I totally understand that as well.

 

[Maggot]

Gonna make another one tomorrow. Hope I can remember how I did it.

 

[Maggot]

Turned out well again.

I have discovered that Savoie wines are pretty hard to get hold of here, but other wines are just as good.

Breaking news! The tartiflette stall in herne hill market is now selling whole 1lb reblochons for £6, which is cheaper than the supermarkets I think

[kittyP]

[kittyP]

Oh do do!

The two that I have had (one was Biddlybee's) were the most amazing things I have ever eaten!!

Is it tartiflette season yet?

is there a vowel in the month?

 

[kittyP]

is there a vowel in the month?

I think I would have struggled to cook it in August this year let alone eat it

There's nowt wrong with eating Tartifuckingflette (that was in my predictive text!) in the summer. Fuck the seasons!

No there isn't. My point was I was far too hot to cook it in the summer.

Does not compute. If it tastes good, cook it.

I was seriously suffering with the temperature this summer and our oven is in our living room!

I'm guessing parsley is really important with this dish, as with so much Italian and French cooking. It's so worth buying fresh parsley, a dish like this would seem unfinished without.

 

[Orang Utan]

Who buys dried parsley?
