This is a traditional alpine recipe, especially delicious in the lodge after a day of skiing or snowshoeing.

Ingredients

* 1 kg potatoes

* 1 small packet bacon bits

* 2 small/1 large onions

* 1 small glass of wine

* 1 small tub of cream

* 1 reblochon cheese


Method

* Peel and cook the potatoes. Let them cool, then slice them into thin coins (about 1cm).

* Preheat the oven with the grill on.

* Slice the onions thinly and put them in a frying pan with a bit of oil.

* Melt the onions. When they're half-cooked, add the bacon.

* When the mixture is ready, add a small glass of wine and continue cooking until it has evaporated.

* Butter or oil an oven dish. Add a row of potatoes, then some onion/bacon mixture. Then do it again until you've run out of mixture.

* Then cover with the cream.

* Slice a reblochon cheese in half so you have two large round pieces. Place cheese down, rind up, on the mixture.

* Place in oven, not too close to the grill, until cheese melts and rind darkens - but without burning.

Enjoy!
