Keto Daikon Tartiflette. I am making this recipe available because…drum roll please…I had absolutely all the ingredients in hand and at the ready including Creme Fraiche that I just happened to make last week. I have changed nothing except to replace Yukon Gold potatoes with Daikon Radish so you are going to get pretty much the real deal here. I have made no secret that where, and when possible, I will shamelessly substitute low carb ingredients from someone else’s high carb recipe which I have done here. This Keto Daikon Tartiflette is simply the essence of Keto~LowCarb food at its finest.
When I first saw the recipe it was touted as an après ski dish so, we’ll let it rest on that but if I were you, (and I’m not) I would use this as a side dish with any meal featuring meat. There are many good cheese substitutes which I have added to the Notes. A few last words; keto daikon tartiflette is easy to make and to-die-for good.

- If you look up this recipe on the internet it calls for Reblochon Cheese which, very sadly, is not available in the US. Its been used in Europe since the 14th Century but no again, not here (you know raw, unpasteurized milk & silly stuff like that) so here are a few subs you can use.
- I used Raclette. You can also use a Camembert, or Brie as both rinds are eminently edible and melt. Both Gruyere & Emmenthal may be used as well as Fontina. (Without the rinds).
- Any meltable cheese will work but but...there are some that are better than others and please DO NOT cheddar.
- You may get a couple more servings per this recipe.
