Tartiflette is a classic French dish originating from the Savoy region. It is traditionally served during the winter months and is a popular après-ski meal. The dish is made with potatoes, bacon, onions, cheese, and cream, making it rich and indulgent. Tartiflette is easy to make and perfect for cozy nights in with friends and family. It is often served with a green salad or cold meats, and of course, a glass of wine to wash it down.

Instructions

1.	Preheat oven to 375°F.
2.	In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
3.	Add chopped onions to bacon drippings and cook until softened—about 10 minutes.
4.	Layer half of the sliced potatoes in the bottom of a large baking dish. Top with half of the onions, half of the bacon, and half of the cheese. Repeat the layers once more and pour heavy cream over the top.
5.	Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 1 hour.
6.	Remove foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until the top is golden brown and bubbling. Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
