Prepare the ingredients: gather potatoes, ground black pepper, thyme, marjoram, 1 garlic clove, smoked bacon, creme fraiche, and cheese.

Cut the smoked bacon into small pieces.

Peel and chop the potatoes into chunks.

Bring a pot of water to a boil and add the chopped potatoes. Boil for 10-15 minutes until just tender but not falling apart.

Once the potatoes are cooked, rinse them in cold water to stop the cooking process.

In a frying pan, heat some olive oil and sauté the chopped shallots and garlic for 5-6 minutes until soft and translucent.

Mix the spices (thyme, marjoram, and black pepper) into the creme fraiche.

Layer the ingredients in a baking dish: start with a layer of potatoes, then add bacon, followed by a layer of the creme fraiche mixture, and repeat until all ingredients are used, finishing with cheese on top.

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Bake the tartiflette in the oven for 20-30 minutes until golden and bubbly.
