Cheesy Tartiflette Casserole With Bacon And Stuffed Potatoes
A tartiflette is a potato casserole that originated in the Savoy region of France, and the thing that makes a tartiflette casserole so special is that it doesn't skimp on the cheese – in fact, it gets topped with entire wheels of cheese! Of course, there are countless different ways to make a tartiflette casserole, but we think we've created the ultimate one.
Equipment
- Casserole Dish
- Apple corer
Ingredients
- 14 medium potatoes
- 9 baby dill pickles
- 18 bacon slices
- 9 pickle slices

Instructions

- Preheat the oven to 325°F. Dip the baby dill pickles in mustard and wrap them in bacon. Slide one of the pickle rolls into each hollowed-out potato.
- Dip the inner potato pieces in mustard and wrap a pickle slice and a slice of bacon around each one.
- Line the bottom of a casserole dish with the potato slices and spread the stuffed potatoes and the wrapped inner potato pieces on top.
- Sauté the bell peppers and onions in olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and spread over the potatoes in the casserole dish.
