Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F. Slice potatoes 1/4-inch thick; don't peel.

  2. Step 2

    Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until crispy, ~7 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

  3. Step 3

    Add onion to bacon fat and cook until golden, ~5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook 1 minute until fragrant.

  4. Step 4

    Butter a 9-inch baking dish. Layer half the potatoes, then half the bacon-onion mixture.

  5. Step 5

    Season with salt, pepper, and thyme. Layer remaining potatoes, then remaining bacon-onion mix.

  6. Step 6

    Arrange Reblochon slices over the top. Pour cream evenly across the surface.

  7. Step 7

    Bake uncovered until golden brown on top and potatoes are tender, ~25 minutes.

  8. Step 8

    Rest 5 minutes before serving. Cheese should be melted and bubbling at the edges.
