French Potato, Onion, Bacon, and Cheese Tartiflette (Gluten-Free)

Celiac.com 06/08/2019 - Are you looking to turn some gluten-free cooking corner? Are you looking to absolutely crush it for your next special dining occasion? Then I encourage you to consider the tartiflette, an undeniably French contribution to sumptuous eating. In the tartiflette, potatoes, bacon, onions, more potatoes, maybe some garlic, and some delicious soft cheese come together to deliver culinary perfection. The result is a cheesy, baconey, potatoey, oniony gluten-free delight that is sure to have people gasping in delight and asking how you did it.

This recipe comes via the excellent Chef John over at FoodWishes. Commentor Vladimir Nachbaur says the secret to the dish is "scrubbing the dish with garlic before laying the potatoes in it. In fact I believe garlic is usually a big part of this dish and I usually add finely diced garlic to the onions, but maybe that's just my take on it!"

I'm keen to try it, and definitely ready to add a dash of garlic for luck. For an excellent video presentation, try Chef John's YouTube channel.
