Thisis a typical Savoyard recipe that varies from valley to valley. You'll sometimes find it made with dried apples and a pinch of nutmeg. It is basically a potato cake with prunes, bacon and raisins. It provides meat (bacon), starch (potato) and dessert (fruit) all in one dish! It was traditionally a poor man's dish, and while the family went to Mass in the village, the farcon cooked in a special tall pan with a central chimney.
