Ingredients  

Pie Dough:

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¾ cup 1½ sticks chilled unsalted butter, cut into pieces
  • 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
  • 3-4 tablespoons chilled water

Galette:

  • 3 Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced with a mandoline
  • 5 slices of bacon
  • 1 large sweet onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 sprigs of rosemary, leaves only
  • 4 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
  • Pecorino cheese to taste
  • Olive oil to taste
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 2 tablespoons butter, chilled and cubed
  • White truffle oil to serve, optional

Instructions 

Making the dough:

  • In a food processor, combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour and salt. Pulse a few times to mix it up. Add the butter cubes and pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add the vinegar and one tablespoon of the chilled water and pulse. Keep adding the water, as needed, just until the dough comes together.
  • Transfer the dough to plastic wrap and lightly pat into a disk. Chill for at least 1 hour.

Making the galette:

  • Preheat oven to 400°.
  • Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat, turning occasionally, until cooked but still soft, about 6 minutes; remove to paper towels. Once cool, roughly chop and reserve.
  • Add the sliced onions to the bacon grease, stirring to coat, and lower the heat to low. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are soft and golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes. At the end, add a few tablespoons of water if the onions are too dry. Season with pepper and salt to taste. Reserve.
  • Roll out dough on a lightly floured sheet of parchment paper to about 14” round and ⅛” thick. Transfer on the parchment paper to a large baking sheet.
  • Add a layer of potato slices, seasoning with salt and pepper. Keep layering, alternating with caramelized onions and chopped bacon. Remember to season, always!
  • Finish off with the crumbled goat cheese and rosemary leaves. Drizzle with a little olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  • Bring edges of dough up and over filling, overlapping as needed, to create a 1½” border; brush with the beaten egg. Add the chilled butter cubes to the top of the galette.
  • Bake the potato galette, rotating once, until crust is golden brown and cooked through, 35–40 minutes.
  • Let it cool slightly and sprinkle the grated pecorino and drizzle with the white truffle oil, if using.
