Sounds like it might have been a
"RÖSTI"
1 large Grated potato,
100 grms chopped bacon,
a little salt,
Brown together in a small frying pan until the potatoes are tender, cover with grated swiss cheese and finish cooking by placing a few minutes in an oven
May be served with a fried egg...
Or it could have been a
"TARTIFLETTE"
Recipe:
1.2 kg potatoes,
200 g diced bacon,
1 chopped onion,
1 reblochon cheese,
2 tablespoons crème fraiche,
1 bottle Apremont (Savoy white wine)
1 Prepare all the ingredients.
2 Peel the potatoes.
3 Boil the potatoes.
4 When boiling, check if cooked by pricking with a knife. When the potatoes are cooked, the blade should cut easily into the flesh. When finished, drain and leave to cool (do not refresh!!!).
5 Mince the onion...
6 and sweat in a bit of oil.
7 Add the smoked bacon..
8 and sweat for a few more minutes.
9 Butter a gratin dish.
10 Cut half the potatoes in thick slices and cover the bottom of the dish with it. Add half the onion and bacon.
11 Add the remaining sliced potatoes and the remmaining onion and bacon.
12 Spread the cream on top.
13 Halve the Reblochon lengthwise, leaving the skin ...
14 and put face down, (skinside up) on the potatoes
(optional: add a glass of dry white wine).
15 Bake in a really warm oven (220-250°C or 428-482°F)...
until the cheese melts and browns on the surface.
Enjoy while it is warm!!!
(If you can't find a Reblochon cheese, you can replace with a camembert, the texture will be slightly different and the taste not quite as strong, but it will make do in a pinch. And I put more than 2 tblsps. of cream. I use a small pot of fresh cream.
Reblochon is the best for this dish, but you can't always find it outside of France, Switzerland and Belgium...)
Bon Appetit! :-D

Potato Gratin- It is French-per se- It has been Americanized with the bacon but you can put pretty much anything in a Gratin
