Jump to RecipeHairy Bikers Tartiflette Recipe Ingredients
- 1kg waxy potatoes, peeled and sliced
- 250g smoked bacon lardons
- 2 onions, sliced
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 100ml dry white wine
- 200ml double cream
- 1 whole Reblochon cheese (approx. 450-500g)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste

How To Make Hairy Bikers Tartiflette Recipe
- Pre-boil potatoes: Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C Fan). Boil sliced potatoes for 5-10 minutes until just tender. Drain and set aside.
- Cook bacon and onions: In a large ovenproof skillet or dish, fry the lardons until crispy. Add sliced onions and cook until soft, then add garlic and cook for 1 minute.
- Make cream sauce: Add white wine and let it bubble, scraping up browned bits. Stir in double cream, season with pepper, and bring to a simmer.
- Combine with potatoes: Fold the drained potatoes into the creamy mixture.
- Top with cheese: Cut the Reblochon in half horizontally and place rind-side up on top of the potatoes.
- Bake and rest: Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden and bubbling. Let it rest 5-10 minutes before serving.
