Turn the oven on to 200 °C, convection if you have it.
Cook the potatoes
Peel the potatoes, cut them into 2 cm cubes and put them in the saucepan with cold salted water. Bring to a boil and let them simmer until a knife slides in easily.
Tip · Start the potatoes in cold water so they cook evenly, and stop as soon as they're tender so they don't get mushy when you mix them.
Slice the onion
Peel the onion and cut it into thin slices while the potatoes cook.
Sauté the onion and bacon
Heat the olive oil in the skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and diced bacon, then let them brown, stirring.
Drain the potatoes
Tip the potatoes into the colander and let them drain for a minute.
Mix it in the dish
Put the potatoes in the baking dish, then add the bacon and onion with their fat. Add pepper, salt very lightly since the bacon is already salty, then stir.
Add the reblochon
Cut the reblochon in half horizontally, then set both halves on top, rind side up.
Tip · Cut the reblochon in half horizontally, keeping the rind on, so it melts nicely over the whole top. Serve with a green salad.
Bake until golden
Bake at 200 °C without flipping the cheese, until it's melted and nicely golden.
