- Cover the bottom of a non-stick saute pan with the shoestring potatoes.
- Allow the potatoes to come up the edges two inches.
- Allow the potatoes to cook until golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Flip the potatoes over and finish cooking until golden brown.
- Remove the potato from the pan and form into a deep tart pan.
- Spoon the mashed truffle potatoes evenly over the potato crust.
- Sprinkle with the cheese.
- Place in the oven and bake until the cheese has melted and the potatoes are heated through, about 5 minutes.
- Shave the truffles over the entire tart.
- Remove the tart pan and place on a platter.
