Poêlée Montagnarde (Alpine Hash), originating in the French Alps, is a potato-based one-pan dish named after the mountainous region. It is perfect for a hearty traditional breakfast or light lunch and appeals to all cheese and bacon lovers. The dish is made by frying diced potatoes with smoked bacon and onions and then adding dry white wine and cheese at the end. Abondance cheese, a firm and fine-textured cheese made using unpasteurized cow's milk, imparts its unique nutty and fruity flavor to the dish. The potatoes soak up the cheesy goodness, and every bite is a flavourful burst of satisfaction.

Instructions

1.	Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes.
2.	Heat oil in a large frying pan and add chopped onions to cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
3.	Add in the diced potatoes and keep stirring regularly until browned and soft for about 20-25 minutes.
4.	Add in smoked lardons, stir frequently, and cook for another 5 minutes.
5.	Pour in dry white wine and let it cook until it evaporates.
6.	Grate abondance cheese and add to the pan, let it melt while stirring.
7.	Let the dish simmer for a couple of minutes, and it's ready to be served hot!
