Potato Onion Galette
- 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)
- 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.
