TRADITIONAL FRENCH RECIPE: Tartiflette is a French dish from the Savoy region in the French Alps made with potatoes, reblochon cheese, lardons and onions.
Tartiflette was first mentioned in a book of 1705.
The tartiflette recipe is probably a glorious marketing machine created by reblochon producers in the 1980s as a way to shift more of their cheese.
There is a similar Tartiflette recipe in France called 'Péla', which can still be found in some restaurants, is strikingly similar, but cooked in a long-handled pan over the fire.
The Old Traditional Tartiflette Recipe:
- The original recipe calls for nothing more than potatoes, chives, garlic and cheese, with an optional topping of creme fraiche, but Tartiflette recipe has changed over the years and now uses a bit less ingredients, using a combination of onions and bacon.
- Everyone cooks the potatoes before baking, but many in france fry them in the pan, which is the traditional way for the Péla.
