Croque Tartiflette Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Trim the tips off the garlic, then place them in a small foil pouch and drizzle with olive oil. Wrap the garlic and bake until the cloves are browned and soft, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove and let cool. Scoop out the flesh with a fork and mash in a small bowl, then set aside.
• While the garlic is roasting, peel and slice the potatoes into 1/2-inch slices. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the potatoes, reduce the heat to medium low and simmer until just tender, about 15 minutes. Check the tenderness with a fork every 5 minutes; the potatoes should not get too soft as to lose their shape. Drain the potatoes and allow them to steam dry.
• Heat the canola oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Add the onions to the pan and stir constantly until the onions soften and are slightly browned, about 10 minutes.
• Pour in the wine and continue stirring for about 2 minutes, and then blend in the creme fraiche. Place the cheese directly on top of the mixture, rind-side up, and let melt; do not stir the cheese while it is melting. Add the nutmeg, pepper and some salt. Once the cheese is completely melted, add the sliced potatoes and mashed garlic and stir very gently to keep the potatoes intact. Once everything is mixed together, let brown for about 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Grease a 10-inch cast-iron pan with butter and set aside.
• Add the sliced potatoes to the boiling water and cook until just tender, about 10 minutes. Carefully drain and set aside.
• Add the bacon to a large cast-iron pan over medium heat and allow the bacon to begin browning and rendering fat, about 5 minutes. Add the sliced red onion and continue to cook to soften the onions, for another 5 minutes. Add the Swiss chard, season with salt to taste and cook until wilted, about 5 minutes.
• Layer the greased cast-iron pan with a third of the potatoes, half of the gruyere, then half of the bacon-onion-chard mixture. Repeat. Finally, top with the remaining potatoes and the cream. Decorate the top with the reblochon cheese in an even layer covering the potatoes. Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler to the lowest heat setting.
• Evenly divide and spread the mustard on 4 slices of bread. Place a few slices of ham, followed by 2 slices of potatoes, 2 slices Cantal, and 1 tablespoon of Béchamel on the mustard-side of the bread. Cover the cheese with the remaining slices of bread and spread the butter on the outside surfaces of the sandwiches.
• Place the sandwiches on an ungreased baking sheet and broil for about 5 minutes, turn them over, and continue cooking until they are crispy and golden brown, about 5 additional minutes. Spread the top of the sandwich with 1 tablespoon Béchamel and serve while hot.

Steps:

• Clean potatoes and cut them by half.
• Boil potatoes into salted water for about 30 minutes (They're ready when a knife enters easily). Then, you'll take them off water and let them chill.
• Meanwhile, peel and slice onions.
• Melt butter in a frying pan. Add sliced onions.
• When onions are translucent, add bacon dices and leave over medium heat for 5 more minutes stirring often.
• Preheat oven to 460° F (240° C / Th 8).
• Peel and slice potatoes.
• Rinse and dry small chives. Chop them.
• In a bowl, combine creme fraiche with wine and small chives. Season with salt and pepper.
• Grease an ovenproof dish. Start by arranging a layer of potato slices at the bottom of the dish. Top with bacon dices and onion, then spread the cream mixture on top. Repeat with another layer of everything.
• Grate Reblochon's rind lightly with a knife. (Don't take it off! Just grate what's coming off easily).
• Slice Reblochon cheese into 2 thinner circles, each one having rind on one side and inside cheese on the other side.
• Place both circles on top of the potato layers with the rind side up and bake in oven for 10 to 15 minutes or until crust is golden and cheese sauce is simmering.
• Serve immediately with green lettuce and vinaigrette.

Steps:

• Cook the potatoes in boiling water until a little undercooked.
• Reserve.
• Melt the butter in a sauté pan and gently cook sliced onion and lardons, without letting them brown.
• Slice the potatoes thickly, add them and continue to cook gently for 10 minutes.
• Add the white wine and allow to reduce.
• Season with salt and pepper.
• Preheat the oven to moderately hot, butter a gratin dish, and put the potato mixture in it.
• Pour over the cream.
• Place the cheese on top and put in the oven for 15-20 minutes, until the cheese has melted into the potatoes.
• Serve with a lightly dressed green salad.
