A delightful twist on the classic potato gratin, featuring creamy Brie cheese and crispy bacon for a rich and comforting dish.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Preheating ensures even cooking and a perfect gratin texture.
Grease an ovenproof dish with butter.
Greasing prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
Peel and slice the potatoes into thin rounds.
Use a mandoline for uniform slices.
Cook the bacon in a frying pan until crispy, then remove and set aside.
Drain excess fat for a lighter dish.
In the same pan, sauté the onions until soft.
Cook over medium heat to avoid burning.
Mix the heavy cream, sour cream, and white wine in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
Adjust seasoning to taste.
Layer half the potatoes in the dish, followed by half the bacon, onions, and Brie. Repeat the layers.
Ensure even layers for consistent flavor.
Pour the cream mixture over the layers.
Pour slowly to distribute evenly.
Bake in the oven for 40 minutes or until golden and bubbling.
Check halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Let the gratin rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Resting helps the layers set for easier serving.
