tartiflette improvised

this is a lovely recipe that i found on pinterest.  i had to improvise it a bit since i was out of wine and wanted to "meat up" the meal a bit.  bacon won't do as dinner for mike...bacon with another meat? just fine. bacon alone? not so much. 
this makes a wonderful cold day dinner.  mike had three helpings...so it's good for the hungry man in your life.  i would serve it next time with a salad to balance the richness.   i used golden potatoes, but yukon or red would work great, too. it reheats well the next day and tastes great for breakfast with a poached egg and fruit. 

tartiflette done easy....
saute 1 chopped onion in olive oil until softened, add 3 italian sausages (cut up) & cook through, add about 4-5 waxy potatoes (skin on/cubed) & 1 - 1 1/2 c. chix broth--cover with lid and cook for about 10minutes or until potatoes become tender. stir in 1/2 c. cream and cook until thick (about 1 min), season with salt & pepper. layer 1/2 the mixture in greased pan top with cheese (i used a bit of leftover ricotta, brie, and parmesan) top with other 1/2 of mixture and more cheese. bake for about 15-20 min. in 350 degree oven until cheese is melted and bubbly. serve with salad.
