Potato Galette




  If you're a fan of carbs, this is the perfect recipe for you when the cravings hit!


For the crust:

2 cups flour

1/2 cup cold salted butter

1/2 tsp pepper

Cold water as needed

Crumb the butter into the flour with a fork  and sprinkle in the pepper. Add water gradually as needed until a slightly crumbly but malleable dough forms. Cover and leave it in the fridge.


For the filling:

Slice potatoes with the skins on very thin and sprinkle some salt on the slices to draw out the excess moisture.



Roll out the dough into a large circle, thicker at the center.

Layer the potatoes in the middle of the dough, leaving a generous area around the edges empty.

Sprinkle salt, pepper, and rosemary over the potato slices, then drizzle oil or melted butter over them generously.  Grate two cloves of garlic over the filling.

If desired, pour some heavy cream or a few tablespoons of milk over the filling.

Fold the edges of the dough in over the filling.

Bake at 180C for 30-40 minutes.
