Tartiflette

1. Cook the Bacon

Begin by cooking the diced smoked bacon in an ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Stir occasionally until it turns golden and crispy, about 7 to 10 minutes.

2. Add Onions and Seasonings

Next, add the diced yellow onions to the skillet. Increase the heat to medium-high and cook the onions until they are soft and golden, about 7 to 10 minutes. Now, stir in the finely grated garlic cloves, finely chopped fresh thyme leaves, and a pinch of freshly grated nutmeg. Cook for just a minute to release their aromas.

3. Cook Potatoes with Wine

Add the peeled and cubed Yukon Gold potatoes, dry white wine, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper to the skillet. Cover the skillet and let it cook for 20 to 25 minutes, until the potatoes are just tender, and most of the wine has evaporated.

4. Add Crème Fraîche

Before baking, fold in the crème fraîche to the potatoes, stirring gently to coat them in creamy goodness.

5. Bake with Cheese

Top the mixture with sliced soft cow's milk cheese like Camembert or Brie. Transfer the skillet to a preheated oven at 400ºF. Bake for 25 to 35 minutes until the cheese is melted and the top is golden and bubbling.
