Tartiflette (French pronunciation: [taʁtiˈflɛt]) is a dish from Savoy in the French Alps.[1] It is made with potatoes, reblochon cheese, lardons and onions.[2][3] A splash of white wine can be added too.[4]
The word tartiflette is probably derived from the Arpitan word for potato (tartiflâ) or from the Savoyard tartifles, a term also found in Provençal and Gallo-Italian. This modern recipe was inspired by a traditional dish called péla: a gratin cooked in a long-handled pan called a pelagic (shovel).[5]
Often served as an après-ski meal, tartiflette conveys an image of Alpine authenticity and conviviality.[6]
