Cook the potatoes in their skins until done, drain and slice.
Preheat your oven to 195°C.
Put the bacon strips in a pan and fry them until crispy and colored, remove them from the pan and fry the sliced shallots in the fat until nicely caramelized.
Add the thyme and bacon and fry together for a bit, then drain on kitchen paper.
Slice the cheese.
Rub the 4 ovenproof dishes with garlic and layer the cheese, potatoes, and bacon in a staggered manner, cutting the remaining cheese into pieces and sprinkling it on top.
Pour 2 tablespoons of white wine into each dish, season with black pepper, and place in the oven, baking for about 15 minutes, until the cheese is nicely melted and colored.
Serve with a green salad, if desired, with plenty of sherry vinegar, oil, and salt and pepper.
