PS What's a Tartiflette by the way?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tartiflette
It is a very enjoyable dish of peasant origins ( because you used up scraps of cheese, ham ,old spuds etc ) which is particularly popular in Savoie/Haute Savoie and with the tourists in the many ski-resorts. Its hot "solidity" with cheese , bacon, onions and potatoes is a delight when sitting down at table and it's cold and snowing outside. Its rise in popularity was due to an advertising campaign in the 70's/80's financed by the Reblochon cheese-makers ( Savoie cheese used in this dish ) to increase sales , and long-term has been rather successful. Lots of recipes there, try it out and imagine you are in a little mountainside restaurant ! Bon appétit !
