Cheese and Potato Nests

This Reblochon tartiflette is a cheesy potato gratin, traditionally quite a heavy winter staple. But made this way you can even serve it on a hot day with a side salad.

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F/180 degrees C/Gas 4 and brush a 6-hole muffin tin with the butter.

Peel the potatoes and use the julienne blade on a mandoline to make thin matchsticks (or slice by hand).

Put the lardons, bay leaf, garlic and onions into a large nonstick frying pan and cook until the lardons are golden brown. Add the wine and reduce until only a couple of tablespoons of liquid remain. Remove the bay leaf. Stir in the potato matchsticks and take off the heat; stir in the Reblochon cubes.

Divide the potato mix among the 6 holes in the muffin tin and bake until golden brown and bubbling, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve hot.

    Rachel Khoo is the best chef I've witnessed on tv. I have recorded everyone of her episodes, shared them with friends and family and have enjoyed every minute over and over again. Not only is she charming, engaging, and instructional, she is a true breath of fresh air.Watching this gem make delicious food with the most humble of kitchens, the simplest of tools, truly brings home why I love food and the art of cooking. I can't help smiling watching her use her chipped bowl, her 2 burner stove, and toaster oven which reminds me that food is an art, and the utenils pale in comparison to one's passion to make something truly wonderful. I'd do anything to go to Paris and learn and share every second with Rachel! Btw, these potato nests will change your life, if not make any brunch you partake in pale in comparison without them.

    These are my new favorite guilty pleasure snack! I went to a local cheese shop (Venissimo, for anyone in San Diego and asked them for a soft stinky cheese. The fancy french cheese I picked went beautifully. A stinky cheese really works well here. Next time I'm going to crisp the bacon first, remove it from the pan then cook the onions, then return the bacon to the onion mixture. Adding the bacon to the onions before it was cooked left me with fatty pieces where the fat didn't render and crisp up. These would be a nice treat for a holiday morning breakfast. One word, Mmmmm!
