Ingredients

  • 1 kg Potatoes, white

  • 3 pieces Thyme, fresh

  • 2 spoons Butter, unsalted

  • 2 piece Onion, raw

  • 150 g Meat, pork, smoked bacon

  • 120 ml Alcohol, Wine, White

  • pieces Salt, table

  • 160 ml Sweet cream

  • 450 g Cheese, Camembert

Steps

  1. Peel the potatoes, wash them, and cut them into slices about one centimeter thick. Place them in a pot and cover with enough cold water.

  2. Add thyme and salt, then place on the stove. Cook the potatoes at a gentle boil until they soften and can be easily pierced with a narrow knife (about 25 minutes). Be careful not to overcook the potatoes! Once cooked, remove the thyme and drain the potatoes well. Set aside while preparing the other ingredients.

  3. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius, and set the oven rack to the middle position. Peel the onion and slice it thinly. Cut the bacon into slices or cubes.

  4. Place a pan on the stove and melt the butter. Add the onion and sauté over medium heat for about 5 minutes until it becomes translucent and slightly soft. Add the bacon and cook together for another 5-7 minutes until the bacon becomes crispy and the onion turns golden brown. Season with a pinch of salt and freshly ground pepper, then pour in the wine. Stir well and simmer over moderate heat for 1-2 minutes until the wine is almost completely reduced.

  5. Add the onion and bacon mixture to the cooked potatoes. Gently mix and season with salt and pepper to taste.

  6. Grease a deep baking dish with butter, then transfer the potato mixture with onion and bacon into it. Pour cream over the top.

  7. Cut the cheese in half. Place both halves, cut side down, on top of the potatoes in the baking dish.

  8. Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 20-30 minutes, or until the cheese melts and the top turns golden brown and crispy.
