November is here and we love to eat a French classic which is tartiflette. Quick & simple & delicious.

Jane cooked this in the oven at 200° centigrade which is 392° fahrenheit.

There are many recipes available on the internet I like this from the Hairy Bikers:

  1. Salad Nicoise, French Toast, French Onion Soup, Beef Bourginon, My spelling of French leaves much to be desired. Madelaines, Champagne, Omlette with cheese and spinach or artichokes. I've never had Tartiflette…yet. What was Coco Chanel's favorite dish…I wonder?

  2. Acadian french – Rappie (aka Rapure/Rapee pie)
    Another awesome thrifty potato dish with meat instead of cheese!
    (from southern nova scotia + new brunswick, canada)
    Makes me homesick just thinking of it.

  3. Oh my…. That looks absolutely decadent! Love French cooking – the cream, butter, wine, cheese… my favorite food groups for pure comfort. My quick favorite treat: Baked brie, baked elephant garlic (drizzle with olive oil)…. serve with crusty bread and a nice wine. I like to add a nice salad or steamed veggie (broccoli, asparagus, cauliflower) to balance it all out.

  4. Thanks Jane and Michael. Haven't cooked Tartiflette in ages. Yummy. Between that, Beef Bourginon and Cassoulet, I can cope with winter. Not everyday, but as a treat!

  5. Damn good job on cutting the cheese wheel in half 😊
    Very tasty looking meal.
    Well demonstrated✔️
    Thank you Jane and Mike for the recipe 👍🇦🇺

  6. Tartiflette! Yum! A true French Christmas market meal. Add a sausage for one more euro. At home I substitute cauliflower for the potatoes to cut the carbs. Yummmmm!

  7. Tasty ! My 2 favorites recipes : Truite aux Amandes et à la crème and Choucroute too

  8. I just put on 5 pounds watching this! I had 2 favorite French recipes until I watched this – parmesan soufflé and coq au vin, but this glorious and decadent recipe has bumped those to the bottom of the list Yum!

  9. I have just watched this twice to write the recipe down definitely going to make this, will probably use Camembert as we love it.

  10. Tried your recipe, loved it!!! Used 4 different cheeses, smoky bacon, shallots and home grown garlic!!! Made 2 smaller pans one for today and one for another day!!!

  11. Bacon is getting a bit expensive here in California, but I recently discovered that the 'trimmings' left when the butcher makes all those nice even slices are called 'ends and pieces' and are sold in a sort of bundle at less than half the price of the slices at my local supermarket. A few minutes in the freezer and a sharp knife give you reasonably priced lardons.

  12. that looks so delicious. I'll definitely be trying this recipe this winter. My husband loves potatoes, so I hope he likes this!

  13. How gorgeous! I do believe that dish will be gracing my table for our Christmas dinner this holiday season!

  14. I had to resist the urge to rush to lidl to buy the ingredients and make it straightghtaway . Will have to be tomorrow

  15. For simple comfort food it has to be a croque monsieur or madame. French onion soup. If I had to choose dessert, it would be creme brulee or tarte tatin.

  16. This looks very tasty. I’ll have to make it this week. My favourite French dish is Bouillabaisse soup.

  17. That looks delicious. I love your step by step recipe videos and I enjoyed Mike's comments too. I have made a note of this recipe so I can buy the ingredients next time I go shopping.Thank you for your joint efforts.

  18. I can’t wait to make this! I was gifted a large wedge of Brie cheese, and have all the rest of the ingredients on hand for a smaller version. Thank you!
