Tartiflette

France · Europe

Short description: This rich baked gratin turns sliced potatoes, smoky pork, onion, and soft cheese into a cold-weather mountain plate.
Ingredients: Potatoes bake with lardons, onion, cream, white wine, and a soft washed-rind cheese until browned and molten.
Cultural note: It is strongly associated with Alpine ski-town and chalet cooking, but its modern popularity was helped by cheese-promotion campaigns.
Common misconception: It is often presented as ancient mountain fare, but the named modern gratin became widely known much more recently.
