I made this the other day, and it’s basically my English twist on the french dish Tartiflette.
Ingredients
- 4 slices unsmoked English bacon
- 4-6 English potatoes (not big potatoes though!)
- Pot of sour cream (I used about 200g of crème fraîche)
- 1 onion
- Lots of garlic
- Mild cheddar cheese
Instructions
Peel the potatoes, boil or steam them until cooked (do the normal knife test, if it seems too hard, keep cooking). While they are cooking, slice up onions, bacon and garlic. Fry the onions and garlic for a few minutes, then add the bacon. When potatoes are cooked, let them cool down completely. Butter an oven dish. Thickly slice the potatoes, lay half of them in the dish. Put half of the onion/bacon mix in. Put half a pot of sour cream in. and spread til covered. Lay the other half of potatoes, then the rest of the onion/bacon mix, then the rest of the sour cream. On top of it all, cover it in sliced (or grated) cheese. Place in a very hot preheated oven (240 degrees in fan-assisted oven) and leave for about 10-15 minutes until the cheese on top starts browning.
