Yield Makes 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb kale, tough stems and center ribs discarded
1 stick (1/2 cup) butter, 6 of the tablespoons melted and cooled
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 lb russet (baking) potatoes (4 medium)
Special Equipment
a 12-inch heavy nonstick skillet; an adjustable-blade slicer

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.

This galette was a disappointment. The crust was tough and the filling was bland. I won't be making it again.

I love this recipe! It's so versatile. I've made it with different types of potatoes, kale, and cheese. It's always delicious.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my galette turned out soggy. I think I might have added too much milk to the filling.

This recipe is a keeper! The galette was crispy, cheesy, and flavorful. I served it with a side of roasted vegetables.

The galette was easy to make and tasted great! I used a store-bought pie crust to save time. I also added a bit of chopped onion and garlic to the filling.

This galette was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it needed more salt and pepper. I also found the kale to be a bit tough.

I've made this galette several times and it's always a crowd-pleaser. It's a great way to use up leftover potatoes and kale. I like to add a bit of crumbled bacon for extra flavor.

I'm not a huge fan of kale, but this galette changed my mind. The kale was perfectly wilted and the potatoes were crispy. The cheese added a nice gooeyness. Overall, a great recipe!

Followed the recipe to a T and it turned out great! The galette was crispy and flavorful. I used a mix of red and green kale, which added a nice pop of color. Will definitely be making this again.

This potato and kale galette was a delightful surprise! The flavors and textures were perfectly balanced. The potatoes were tender, the kale was crisp, and the cheese was gooey. I added a bit of extra garlic and thyme, which really elevated the dish.
