Tartiflette Savoyarde recipe

What is a tartiflette? My French is goes a long way but when we visited the Festival des fromages de Meulan back in September I came across this delicous dish for the first time. Tartiflette is a French dish from the Haute Savoie region of France. It is made with potatoes, reblochon cheese, cream, and lardons. The word tartiflette is likely derived from the Arpitan word for potato, tartifla.

(Optional: When the mixture is ready, add a small glass of wine and continue cooking until it has evaporated)
3.) Transer mixture into a baking dish. Pour a thin layer of crème fraiche on top.
