Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon butter
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons creme fraiche
• 3 large potatoes, peeled and sliced
• 1 large onion, sliced
• 7 slices bacon, chopped
• 1 (8 ounce) round Reblochon cheese
• 0.25 cup white wine

Recipe Instructions

Step 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.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish.

Step 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.

Step 4

Place 1/2 potatoes into the prepared dish; spread 1/2 bacon mixture over top. Layer in remaining potatoes, spread crème fraîche over top, then add remaining 1/2 bacon mixture. Remove and discard rind from Reblochon. Cut cheese into thin slices; layer evenly over top of casserole.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and slightly browned, about 15 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper. Serve hot.
