Method
- Cook the lardons in a large, nonstick frying pan over a medium heat for 4-5 mins until crispy and the fat begins to render. Add the shallot and cook for 1 min more; transfer to a plate and set aside. Preheat the grill.
- Heat the rapeseed oil in the frying pan and fry the potatoes over a medium-high heat for 5 mins, turning regularly, until golden. Return the bacon and shallot mix to the pan and stir though the cream. Simmer for 1 min, stirring, then add the cheese and stir until melted and combined. Season with pepper and remove from the heat.
- Grill the bread until lightly golden on both sides. Put 4 slices of toast on a baking tray, divide the tartiflette mix between them, then top with the other slices of toast. Gently press together; grill for 4-6 mins, turning halfway, until golden on both sides. Serve with cornichons, if you like.
