4. Mix the grated cheese together with the crème fraiche and set aside.

 

5. Generously butter a gratin dish and cover with half of the sliced potatoes followed by the onions and bacon and the second half of the potatoes.

 

6. Pour over the white wine and spread the Lincolnshire Poacher and crème fraiche mixture over the top.

 

7. Season with freshly ground pepper and grated nutmeg and bake for 15-20 mins in the pre-heated oven until golden. Serve piping hot.
