Wiktionary examplesThese source excerpts show how tartiflette appears in context. They illustrate usage; the definition above remains the entry’s reference meaning.
La tartiflette est une recette qui a été mise au point dans les années 1980. Cette recette moderne s’inspire d’un plat réellement traditionnel appelé la pela : un gratin de pommes de terre, oignons et fromage fait dans une poêle à manche très long appelé pela (pelle) en francoprovençal.
Prendre une photographie de VTT, ou de tartiflette au reblochon, rapportait beaucoup moins qu’une photographie équivalente de Kate Moss, ou même de George Clooney ; mais la demande était constante, soutenue, et pouvait assurer un revenu correct.
