Ingredients
  

  • 4-5 Medium Potatoes
  • 1 spring onion
  • 200 ml Cream
  • 300 g Sliced bacon
  • 250 g Reblochon cheese
  • 25 g Butter
  • Salt
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • Pepper

Instructions
 

  • We will begin by cooking the whole potatoes. For it, first we wash them well under the faucet, to remove all the earth that they bring. We put a wide pot (where they all fit), with enough water and a teaspoon of salt. Bring to the boil and, as soon as it starts to boil, add the potatoes. Cook for 25-35 minutes, always depending on the size of the potatoes. Check that they are tender by pricking them with a toothpick. If it goes in easily, it means they are cooked. Take them out of the water and let them cool down so they are easy to handle while we continue with our recipe.
  • Let's continue with the sofrito and the "sauce" of this recipe. Chop the spring onion as small as possible. In a frying pan put a drizzle of oil and, when it is hot, add the chives. Cook over medium-low heat for about 10 minutes. Add a pinch of salt so that the spring onion releases all its juice.
  • After this time, add the bacon or bacon, cut into strips. Cook together with the spring onion until it is ready (the spring onion must be very tender and the bacon golden brown). Add the cream, cook everything together for a couple of minutes and set aside.
  • We need a baking dish suitable for the oven. First, we are going to grease it well with butter. We continue peeling the potatoes, cut them into slices not too thick or too thin. We place them in the dish and season with salt and pepper. We also add the "sauce" with the cream, bacon and chives and season to taste.
  • Cover with slices of Reblochón cheese, having previously removed the rind, and bake for 20-30 minutes at 180ºC. After this time, check that it is golden on top and serve hot. Now we have a great French Tartiflette ready.
