Ingredients

• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) butter
• 3 Pounds (lb) russet potatoes, peeled
• 12 Ounces (oz) thick cut bacon, divided
• 2 Large onions, sliced
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) salt
• 1 Pinch salt, to taste
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) black pepper, ground
• 1 Pinch black pepper, to taste
• 1 Pinch cayenne pepper, to taste
• 0.5 Cups dry white wine
• 0.75 Cups creme fraiche
• 16 Ounces (oz) Reblochon cheese

Steps

1. Boil the peeled potatoes with salt in water over high heat. Reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are easily pierced with a knife but not too soft, about 15 to 25 minutes. Remove potatoes from water and let cool.
2. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
3. Cook the divided bacon in a skillet over medium to medium-high heat until cooked but not quite crisp, about 5 to 7 minutes. Push bacon to one side of the pan and blot up some of the fat with a paper towel. Add onion slices, season with 1 pinch of salt, 1 pinch of black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Cook and stir over medium heat until onions are soft and golden, about 6 minutes. Add white wine and cook for 2 minutes to deglaze the pan. Remove from heat.
4. Cut the wheel of cheese into 2 semi-circles. Place each half cut side down and split in half to form 2 more semi-circles, each with a rind side and creamy cheese side.
5. When potatoes are cool enough to handle, peel off the skin and slice into thick slices, about 1/3 inch thick.
6. Place a little over half the potato slices onto the bottom of a 2-quart shallow baking dish, overlapping slightly. Sprinkle with a bit of salt. Pour in the bacon/onion/wine mixture and spread evenly over the potatoes. Arrange the remaining potato slices over the top, overlapping as needed. Spread creme fraiche over the potatoes. Place cheese pieces, rind side up, on top.
7. Transfer the baking dish to a baking sheet and bake in the center rack of the preheated oven until browned and potatoes are tender, about 45 to 50 minutes.
