Truffade

Truffade is a hearty and traditional dish from the Auvergne region of France that is sure to warm you up. Envision a thick, golden pancake made from thinly sliced potatoes, cooked slowly to perfection in rich goose fat. Once the potatoes are tender and just starting to crisp, they are combined with thin strips of tome fraîche cheese, creating a delectably gooey blend that coalesces into a thick, satisfying pastry.

To add a touch of freshness, truffade is often garnished with a sprinkle of fresh parsley and served alongside a simple green salad. There are also some delightful variations you can try: some prefer to flip the truffade to brown both sides, while others add lardons (small strips of bacon) for an extra burst of flavor.

Whether you adhere to the classic recipe or put your own spin on it, truffade is a rustic, comforting dish that brings a taste of the French countryside to your table.
