Salt and Vinegar Potato Galette image

Provided by Molly Yeh

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large onion, thinly sliced
Kosher salt
Neutral oil, for frying
2 medium potatoes (about 1 pound), thinly sliced (1/8 inch thick)
2 tablespoons chopped chives
3 tablespoons white vinegar
Freshly ground black pepper
8 ounces your favorite pie dough
1 large egg
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan
Flaky salt, for topping

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onions and a pinch of salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until caramelized, about 25 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Heat 1 1/2 inches of oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Working in batches, fry the potatoes, flipping once, until just tender and beginning to brown around the edges, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the potatoes to a baking sheet lined with paper towels to drain, then remove the paper towel. Sprinkle the potatoes with the chives, 2 tablespoons of the vinegar and salt and pepper to taste. Toss gently to combine.
  • Roll your pie dough out into a 13-inch circle and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment. Whisk the egg with a splash of water in a small bowl and brush it onto the dough, leaving a 2-inch perimeter. In the center of the dough, layer up the toppings in this order: half the onions, half the Parmesan cheese and then half of the potatoes, in a fanned even layer. Top with the remaining onions, remaining cheese, the other half of the potatoes and any additional chives or black pepper from the bottom of the pan. Brush the edges of the crust with egg and then fold them up around the potatoes. Brush the outside edges with egg and sprinkle with flaky salt.
  • Bake until the pie crust edges are golden brown, about 25 minutes. Sprinkle the top of the galette with the remaining tablespoon of vinegar before serving.

POTATO ONION GALETTE

Categories     appetizer

Time 2h20m

Yield About 12 slices

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 recipe Pate Brisee
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 tablespoons oil
1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
Kosher salt
Pepper
3 medium onions (about 1 1/4 pounds), thinly sliced
1 1/4 pounds potatoes, peeled and diced in 1/2-inch cubes
6 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
Egg wash (lightly beaten egg with 1 teaspoon milk)

Steps:

  • Make the pate brisee and roll into a cylinder. Chill for 1/2 hour or up to 3 days.
  • Heat the butter and 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet. Season with salt, pepper and thyme and cook the onions over medium low heat until caramelized. Remove the onions from skillet and set aside in a bowl to cool. Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in the skillet and saute the potatoes, seasoned with salt and pepper, until about 3/4 cooked. Combine the potatoes with the onions, mix in 1/4 cup Parmesan and set aside to cool completely. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Cut the cylinder of dough in half and refrigerate one half. Press the piece of dough into a rectangle and then roll it, on a lightly floured surface, into a rectangle measuring about 17 x 8 inches. Brush off any excess flour and transfer the dough to an ungreased cookie sheet. Position it so that there is room for the second piece. Refrigerate the tray while you roll out the second piece of dough in the same way and place it on the cookie sheet.
  • Using a serrated pastry wheel, trim the edges of the rectangles to even them. Cut a "v" out of each corner to prevent the dough from bunching when it's folded. Spread half the potato/onion mixture on each, leaving a 1 1/2-inch border all around. Fold up the edges. Brush the dough with egg wash and sprinkle the remaining Parmesan over the dough and filling. Bake about 40 minutes, or until the crust is nicely browned. Slice each section on the diagonal into about 6 pieces.

CARAMELIZED ONION GALETTE



Caramelized Onion Galette image

This rich, autumnal galette takes its inspiration from the flavors of French onion soup. Seasoned with Gruyère and lots of cracked black pepper, the galette dough takes the place of the crostini, and the caramelized onion filling is fortified with beef broth and sherry. The dish is great for entertaining - it can be prepared in advance - but requires a little bit of patience: You'll need to let the dough rest for at least four hours, which allows the flour to hydrate and will make the dough less crumbly to work with. Let the tart rest for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Eat it while it's hot or serve at room temperature alongside a salad or steak.

Time 2h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups/190 grams all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
Kosher salt and black pepper
1/2 cup/115 grams unsalted butter (1 stick), cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 1/3 cups/4 ounces grated Gruyère
1/4 cup ice water
1/4 cup/55 grams unsalted butter (1/2 stick)
4 large sweet onions, peeled and sliced into 1/2-inch rings
4 fresh thyme sprigs, plus more fresh thyme leaves for serving
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 cup beef broth (or vegetable broth)
1/4 cup dry sherry

Steps:

  • Prepare the dough: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt and 1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper. Add butter and 1 cup grated Gruyère to the flour mixture and toss to coat. Using your fingertips, pinch the butter and cheese into the flour to make pebble-size pieces. Drizzle in the ice water and stir to make a shaggy dough. Dump the dough onto a large sheet of plastic wrap and knead a few times to combine. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
  • Prepare the onions: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add onions and thyme sprigs, season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are translucent and lightly golden on the edges, 20 to 25 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium, add broth and sherry and cook until the onions are browned and the liquid has mostly evaporated but the mixture is still saucy, 16 to 18 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and set aside to cool for at least 30 minutes.
  • Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Roll the dough into a 13-inch round on a sheet of parchment. Spread the cooled caramelized onions on the dough, leaving a 1- to 2-inch border. Fold the edges in, over the onions, transfer to a baking sheet and bake until the dough is golden brown and some of the onions have browned on the edges, 40 to 50 minutes, rotating the galette halfway into the baking process.
  • Remove galette from the oven and sprinkle remaining 1/3 cup grated Gruyère on the crust. Bake another 5 minutes to melt the cheese. Remove and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Top with remaining thyme leaves, for garnish.

POTATO, ONION AND GRUYERE GALETTE



Potato, Onion and Gruyere Galette image

Use only low starch, waxy potatoes as all others will become mealy. And a low sulphur sweet onion like Walla Wall, Vidalia or Maui works great. The crust is crisp and cheesy and the center is tender and buttery without being overly rich. It makes a wonderful lunch or dinner served with a side salad.
