Ingredients
•
3 large potatoes, peeled and sliced
•
7 slices bacon, chopped
•
1 tablespoon butter
•
1 large onion, sliced
•
1/4 cup white wine
•
2 tablespoons creme fraiche
•
1 (8 ounce) round Reblochon cheese
•
salt and ground black pepper to taste
Directions
1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat; add potatoes, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain; steam dry, 1 to 2 minutes.
2
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish.
3
Cook bacon in a skillet over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes. Transfer bacon to a plate; discard grease. Melt butter in the same skillet. Add onions; cook and stir until translucent, about 5 minutes. Return bacon to the skillet. Add wine; simmer until nearly evaporated. Remove from heat.
4
Place ½ potatoes into the prepared dish; spread ½ bacon mixture over top. Layer in remaining ½ potatoes, spread crème fraîche over top, then add remaining ½ bacon mixture. Remove and discard rind from Reblochon. Cut cheese into thin slices; layer evenly over top of casserole.
5
Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and slightly browned, about 15 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper. Serve hot.
