Boil the unpeeled potatoes with salt in water over high heat; reduce to a simmer and cook until they are easily pierced with a knife but not too soft, 15 to 25 minutes depending on size. Remove the potatoes from the water to cool.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium to medium-high heat until done but not quite crisp and most of the fat has rendered, 5 to 7 minutes. Push the bacon to one side of the pan and blot up some fat with a wadded paper towel. Add the onion slices. Season with kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, and cayenne. Cook and stir over medium heat until the onions are soft, sweet, and golden, about 6 minutes. Add the white wine; cook for 2 minutes to deglaze the pan. Remove from the heat.

Cut the wheel of cheese into 2 semi-circles. Place each half cut side down and split in half again to make 2 more semi-circles, each with a rind side and a creamy cheese side.

When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, peel off the skins. Slice them into fairly thick slices, about 1/3 inch thick.

Place a little over half of the potato slices on the bottom of a 2-quart shallow baking dish; a bit of overlapping is fine. Sprinkle with a little salt. Pour in the bacon/onion/wine mixture and spread it evenly over the potatoes. Arrange the remaining potato slices on top, overlapping as needed. Spread the creme fraiche over the potatoes. Place the cheese pieces rind side up. Set the pan on a baking sheet. Bake on the center rack of the preheated oven until browned and the potatoes are tender, 45 to 50 minutes.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
