At San Francisco's famed Tartine Bakery, croque-monsieur is one of the most popular menu items. Croque-montagnarde, another crowd-pleaser, is a richer, more robust version, thanks to potatoes laced with olive oil.

Steps:
- Make the bechamel:Melt butter in a heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add flour, and whisk until mixture bubbles slightly, but has not started to brown, about 2 minutes. Whisk in milk. Bring to a boil to thicken. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat.
- Make the croque-montagnarde:Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Toss potatoes with oil. Spread 1/4 cup bechamel onto each slice of bread, and top with 1 slice of ham, some potatoes, and 2 slices of cheese. Bake on a baking sheet until cheese is golden and bubbling, 12 to 14 minutes (start checking often after 8 minutes, and rotate sheet as needed for even browning).
