Well, the cheese would be Reblochon (at least in Europe).
I mean it looks like a good recipe but I'd probably have to drive 6-7hours to find a store with that cheese
Becky Hays one of my favorites, she can cook for me anytime
Well, burst my buttons!
OMG! I gotta try this. You're all so awesome, I always look forward to seeing your videos!
Best video ever!
that’s not enough cheese
Bridget is hilarious!
We like to serve tartiflette as a side dish with beef bourguignon.This recipe looks good,ours has some mushrooms and more cream.When the beef sauce meets that tartiflette it`s French at it`s finest.Thanks Bridget for the inspiration.
This is not tartiflette. A lot of recipes are subject to debate, but tartiflette was invented by the Reblochon marketing board to sell more Reblochon, so the recipe is authoritative. It must be Reblochon cheese, the potatoes are softened by frying not boiling or steaming, the nutmeg is missing, there shouldn't be any cream. The recipe shown is a delicious gratin recipe, but tartiflette is not gratin!
I'm gratified that the same design of steamer basket is still commonplace.:)
I love how happy this made Bridget!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
These two absolutely cracked me up in this episode! “… and I’ll take the other half out to my car. Mama needs a snack in her way home.” 🤣🤣
The cheese for tartiflette is Reblochon. But as that's made from raw milk (as it has an AOC designation you couldn't make if from pasturised mick and still call it Reblochon) I guess that the FDA won't allow you to have it.
Such an easy way to put this together but no char/crisp on the potato. Must try.
Jim Henson’s studio needs to make a Bridget Muppet!
Just need a glass of wine .
Bridget's charisma knows no limits!😂😂😂 She was hilarious in this segment. 👏👏🤣
Well done, but
gratin is gratin.
It’s technique.
Good one, but please broil!!
Bridget makes me smile, she’s so wonderful and knows my heart about potatoes, cheese, bacon, cream, and spices. I’m in love and I didn’t even get to taste it yet. Going to get the cheese tomorrow.
This dish is fabulous. We make it often for brunch during cold weather. Good stuff 😊
Good Lord.
My momma used to make fried potatoes with onions in it now to see this version Oh my, I'm now thinking of all that deliciouness that were built in my formating years and now a enhanced version. I'm ready to remake it every day until I, too, have mastered Tartiflette.
Holy moly. This looks incredible! 🤤
I'll double the bacon, and out of the oven, I'll top it with shredded chihuahua cheese.
Reblochon is the cheese you want to use for this dish; if someone knows where to find some in the US, please let me know!
How about ATK offers veggie alternative ingredients as often as meat options the other way?
Ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok
That looks amazing! And wow, that Harbison(?) cheese is something else. Give me like 10 wheels of that cheese and I’ll eat them all and die happy.
This is not a side dish but the main course of a happy family meal ! Thank you !
As a chef who's worked in the Savoie region of france, this is close but not quite the real deal. I'm sure this version is very nice though.
Right there with you Bridget!!!! 🥲🍴😋 Wow that looks delicious!!!! That would pair perfect with some Bavarian weisswurst and a nice 🍺 or white wine!!! 😁
No Keto zone.
I’ll have what she’s having!
Is Becky Tall, or is Bridget Short?
What kind of cheese was that? If I can’t find it, what would you say is a good substitute?
I think the word casserole was used while making this segment. A casserole involves potato chip topping and tuna.
This, is no casserole😂
I typically don't burst out laughing but Bridget's unbridled lust for this dish is hilarious — and deserved!
