Method
- Cook the lardons in a large, nonstick frying pan over a medium heat for 4-5 mins until crispy and the fat begins to render. Add the shallot and cook for 1 min more; transfer to a plate and set aside. Preheat the grill.
- Heat the rapeseed oil in the frying pan and fry the potatoes over a medium-high heat for 5 mins, turning regularly, until golden. Return the bacon and shallot mix to the pan and stir though the cream. Simmer for 1 min, stirring, then add the cheese and stir until melted and combined. Season with pepper and remove from the heat.
- Grill the bread until lightly golden on both sides. Put 4 slices of toast on a baking tray, divide the tartiflette mix between them, then top with the other slices of toast. Gently press together; grill for 4-6 mins, turning halfway, until golden on both sides. Serve with cornichons, if you like.
Freezing and defrosting guidelines
Freeze tartiflette mixture only. In order to enjoy optimum flavour and quality, frozen items are best used within 3 months of their freezing date. For more tips on freezing and defrosting food, read our article Love Your Freezer.
