Remarks
The potatoes can be prepared and poached beforehand, even a few days bafore, then kept in their plastic film in the fridge.

I have a preference for Morteau sausage and Mont d'Or cheese, but if you don't have any, you can use another sausage (smoked if possible) and another cheese, preferably one that is fairly soft.

this is a real winter recipe with plenty of calories, as you will have noticed...
