Why It Works

Touffaye Vosgienne

Alsace-Lorraine — Lorraine Specialties

Potatoes sliced too thick, remaining firm in the centre. Insufficient liquid, causing the bottom layer to burn. Not covering tightly, allowing moisture to escape too early. Using unsalted fresh pork instead of smoked (the smoke flavour is essential). Rushing at a higher temperature.
