The tartiflette is a specialty from the area I am from in France. It is a perfect comfort food. It is extremely popular in those ski resorts in Alpes mountains. Not quite diet friendly but I guess if you don't eat this too often it is not so bad.
With all those potatoes in our shares, I had in mind to make it for a long time but I was stuck with the cheese. It is, in fact, a very specific cheese you should use to make this dish: it is called Reblochon. Even though, some people have found it in the Stavanger area (Ostehuset or some Meny butikker) I have not yet. I decided to pick up a norwegian 'equivalent' for my recipe. I chose Ridder cheese. It turned out not too bad actually. The texture is not 100% the same but the taste was quite similar and it was a big succes at home tonight. Let me share this recipe with you.
