Tartiflette Pizza

Jessica Fisher · August 6, 2015 · 10 Comments

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Tartiflette Pizza is one of those amazing things we enjoyed in France: potatoes, bacon, and onion join forces with creamy Brie for a divine pizza.

I am a stickler for dinnertime theme nights. Not only do they make meal planning easy, but they make dinner a little more fun. I mean, doesn’t the very sound of Taco Tuesday make you smile?

Long ago I instituted a Pizza Night Friday because it was our way to celebrate the weekend. But then last summer, I started French Fridays in honor of our trip to France. I just bumped Pizza Night to Saturday. But then we started going to church on Saturday nights and my whole theme night structure is in disarray.

I haven’t solved this, but I need to. Because I really want to have my French Friday and eat my pizza, too.

I know. I’m weird.

So, whenever I can bring a little Pizza Night and French Friday together, I am a happy girl. Sure, they eat pizza in France. In fact, that was the most common take-out my kids had. They got really tired of the lack of pepperoni and the abundance of ham and ground meat on pizza. Oh and swiss cheese!

BUT! There were a few pizza combos that we fell in love with. One would be cracking an egg on the pizza before it’s baked — delish! And the other would be this:

Tartiflette Pizza

Now tartiflette is a dish from Savoie, where my French dad grew up. Tartiflette is made of potatoes, reblochon cheese (kinda like Brie, but don’t tell Jean-Marc I said that!), lardons (kinda like diced bacon), and onions. I’ve never had the real dish, but it sounds amazing. All those things make an amazing Tartiflette pizza, so I don’t know why the original thing wouldn’t be out of this world.

The imported version of reblochon is called Fromage de Savoie or you might find a similar Delice du Jura, but I’ve never seen it. To the ignorant it looks like Brie or Camembert, but a true francais would say they aren’t the same.

Regardless of ingredients differences, I’m doing like the French do. Many of the pizzerias we went to used swiss cheese instead of mozzarella because that’s what French people like on pizza. I’m using what I got.

And it works!

Just keep in mind this is the Americanized version. 🙂 And yes, I do buy precooked bacon. It’s so convenient and less messy that opening a big package when I just want a few slices. If you want to cook the bacon yourself, that’s fine too.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 batch pizza dough You can also buy dough at Trader Joe’s and other grocery stores
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup frozen shredded hash browns no need to thaw
  • 4 slices bacon cooked and chopped
  • 1/2 red onion sliced

  • 2 oz mozzarella cheese (shredded) (1/2 cup)
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 475°. Grease a 12-inch pizza pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Presumably, you’ve made your pizza dough or bought it at the store. Line the pan with the dough. See this video if you need to see it in action. Brush the dough with a bit of olive oil.
  • Sprinkle the frozen potatoes over the crust. Sprinkle the bacon over the potatoes. Add the red onion, to taste. Divide the Brie cubes around the pizza. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over all.
  • Bake the pizza for 8 to 10 minutes, watching for burning. The crust should be crisp and the cheese hot and bubbly. Serve immediately, but leftovers are great cold the next morning.

    I’ve been looking for new pizza toppings. This combo sounds really good. I think we’ll give it a try on our next pizza night. Pepperoni is a little old and boring.

    Hmm, this sounds different. I might have to give it a try. I don’t think I’ve heard of this one. It is funny how different countries do pizza options that seem so strange to us but make such indelible memories, isn’t it? I recall my college summer break trip to England where I had scrambled eggs and tuna on a pizza. I don’t remember if I liked it, mind you, only that it was a choice. It’s a little over 10 years now since we went to Italy and had the most fantastic seafood pizza; pretty much any of the “fruits de mer” were tossed on. That is still one of the kid’s favorite meals EVER.

    Hi! I just want to thank you for oferring such an incredibly helpful blog! We recently tightened our budget quite a bit when I decided to stay home full time with our two babies. Our grocery budget took a hit but I have never felt more organized or empowered when it comes to shopping and preparing meals thanks to your meal plans! My husband keeps raving about everything I cook and I have never learned so much! Never would have tried to make a soup, homemade pizza, lasagna or many other things you have included! Every week is an adventure in cooking and best of all we are staying in budget. Thank you so much! Your blog is a treasure and I’ve been telling all my friends about it!

        Well I started with the three $70 or less meals (Discovered a LOVE for homemade refried beans) and now I have worked my way through the first 3 meal plans of the “40 meal plans” link I found on the $70 or less page! 🙂 I was SO happy to find that link! I am going to just go back to the first meal plan I did once I finish through the 40. I’m actually shopping later today for meal plan #4. By the way that Garlic and Basil Lasagna recipe is out of this world. I made it for a new mom, my husband and some family and friends and they all LOVED it. They all said it was the best lasagna they had ever eaten. Never seen my two year old eat so fast! lol. My two year old also helped me make my first pizza last weekend which was a blast and it came out delicious! I skipped it before each time thinking it would be way too hard but I finally got the courage and I’m so glad I did. (I did cheat and buy the dough already made though. lol) I think I am going to make this Tartiflette pizza for a girls night I’m hosting next Saturday! Thanks again! This site is the BEST! I truly can’t tell you how much I appreciate this site. With a two year old and 6 month old, I would NEVER have the time or know how to meal plan economically and create a grocery list each week without this site.

    Jessica, this sounds good, but brie is not usually a cheese I buy. Would you have a suggestion for another cheese that would work, or would I need to splurge on brie? Also, have you ever used sweet onion instead of the red onion? Potato and Bacon pizza sounds like a great breakfast/brunch idea. I followed the link over from the whole wheat pizza post. Thanks for all your helpful suggestions and information on the site.

      You can use whatever cheese you like. Reblochon makes it “tartiflette” and Brie is just the closest thing we have to that in the US. Definitely experiment. And yes, sweet onion will work great as well.
