Tartiflette - Not Your Average Potato Bake

Tartiflette is a traditional food of the Haute Savoie region in France. So when in Annecy, warm up your insides with this dish.

As recommended on Tripadvisor, I had dinner at Le Freti by the canal. This place specialises in racelette, fondue, pretty much anything involving piping hot cheese.

I was a bit dubious when I was one of the first to arrive at 7pm however it didn't take long for the restaurant to be packed out.

When the bubbling tartiflette was placed before me, my stomach flinched. Sadly my Asian insides would never appreciate this creamy cauldron of lactose.

When trying tartiflette, if you haven't burned your to tongue already, the robuchon will smother your taste buds and make hot love to them.

There is a sprinkling of caramelised onions and bacon. The sliced potatoes are moist and falls away at the turn of the tongue. A simple dish that fulfils in many ways.

It comes with salad and a very creamy dressing. (And my intestines are crying at this point!)

After cleaning the plate, I felt guilty filling up on bread and butter earlier. I think I have palpitations now!
