Sausage-Stuffed Potato Galette
- 3 pounds large Yukon Gold potatoes
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 fennel bulbhalved, cored and thinly sliced lengthwise
- 1 small onion, sliced
- 1 pound pork breakfast sausage
- In a large saucepan, cover the potatoes with water and bring to a boil.
- Simmer until partially cooked, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Transfer to a plate and let cool.
- Peel the potatoes and coarsely shred them on a box grater.
- Spread the shredded potatoes on a baking sheet; season very lightly with salt and pepper.
- In a 12-inch nonstick ovenproof skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil.
- Add the fennel and onion, cover and cook over moderate heat until softened, 5 minutes.
- Uncover and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, 5 minutes longer.
- Let cool slightly, then transfer to a food processor.
- Add the sausage and pulse to combine.
- Preheat the oven to 375.
- Wipe out the skillet and coat with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil.
- Press half of the shredded potatoes in the bottom of the skillet and partially up the side.
- Spread the sausage mixture over the potatoes, leaving a 1-inch border all around.
- Press the remaining potatoes on top in an even layer, sealing the edges.
- Cook over moderately high heat until the bottom is golden, 15 minutes.
- Carefully slide the potato galette onto a large plate and cover with the skillet.
- Invert the galette into the skillet.
- Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil around the edge of the galette and cook over moderately high heat for 5 minutes.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 45 minutes, or until the bottom is well browned and the sausage is cooked through.
- Slide the galette onto a cutting board, cut into wedges and serve.
