Tartiflette at Lolo and Vero's place

Tonight we had dinner at our friends Laurent and Vero's place. Barbara, Francois' wife was also there and we all ate a giant plate of Tartiflette together. Tartiflette is a relatively new addition to the world of extreme high calorie cheesey dishes that you should only eat after a day of ski de randonnee or some other suitably exhausting exercise. A couple of tartiflette recipes can be found here and here, buf suffice it to say that butter, potato and cheese play a prominent role. Even though it is not as old as its brethern the fondue and raclette, putting cream in the recipe is apparently frowned upon by tartiflette purists. I can't wait to make this back in the states, but I wonder how easy it will be to find large quantities of reblochon.

edit: reblochon can be bought on amazon!! or here at www.perfectcoffeeshop.com or at igourmet. if you are insane, you can apparently pay $330 for just over a pound of reblochon here
