Steps:
- Cook kale in a 4- to 6-quart pot of boiling salted water, uncovered, until just tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Drain in a colander and rinse under cold water to stop cooking. Drain well, squeezing handfuls of kale to extract excess moisture, then coarsely chop.
- Heat 2 tablespoons (unmelted) butter in skillet over moderately high heat until foam subsides, then add garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 1 minute. Add kale, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and sauté, stirring, until kale is tender, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and clean skillet.
- Peel potatoes and thinly slice crosswise (1/16 inch thick) with slicer. Working quickly to prevent potatoes from discoloring, generously brush bottom of skillet with some of melted butter and cover with one third of potato slices, overlapping slightly. Dab potatoes with some of melted butter.
- Spread half of kale over potatoes and sprinkle with 1/8 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper.
- Cover with half of remaining potato slices and dab with butter, then top with remaining kale. Sprinkle with 1/8 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Top with remaining potatoes and sprinkle with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
- Brush a sheet of foil with melted butter, then brush galette with any remaining butter and place foil, buttered side down, on top. Place a 10-inch heavy skillet on top of foil to weight galette.
- Cook galette over moderate heat until underside is golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove top skillet and foil. Wearing oven mitts, carefully slide galette onto a baking sheet and invert skillet over it. Holding them together, invert galette, browned side up, back into skillet. Cook, uncovered, over moderate heat until underside is golden brown and potatoes are tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Slide onto a serving plate.
Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: For the best results, use a starchy potato like Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes. These potatoes will hold their shape well and become tender when cooked.
- Slice the potatoes thinly: The thinner the potato slices, the crispier they will be. Aim for slices that are about 1/8-inch thick.
- Season the potatoes well: Be generous with the salt and pepper when seasoning the potatoes. This will help to bring out their flavor.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the potatoes, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
- Cook the potatoes until they are golden brown: Cook the potatoes until they are golden brown and crispy. This will ensure that they are cooked through.
- Wilt the kale before using it: Wilting the kale before using it will help to remove some of its bitterness and make it more tender.
- Use a good quality cheese: The type of cheese you use will greatly affect the flavor of the galette. Use a cheese that you enjoy the taste of and that will melt well.
- Serve the galette warm: The galette is best served warm, right out of the oven. This will allow you to enjoy the crispy potatoes and melted cheese.
Conclusion:
Potato and kale galette is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. The combination of crispy potatoes, tender kale, and melted cheese is sure to please everyone at the table. With a few simple tips, you can make a potato and kale galette that is sure to impress.
