Potato Tarte Flambee
- All-purpose flour, for dusting
- Two 6-ounce balls of levain dough (sourdough; see Note)
- Extra-virgin olive oil, for brushing and drizzling
- 1/4 cup creme fraiche
- 1/4 pound Red Norland or other red potatoes, sliced crosswise 1/16 inch thick on a mandoline
- 1/4 cup lightly packed rosemary leaves
- 2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest, preferably Meyer lemon
- Maldon sea salt (see Note)
- Freshly ground black pepper
- On a lightly floured work surface, roll or stretch each piece of levain dough to a 6-by-12-inch rectangle.
- Lightly brush the dough with olive oil, cover it loosely with plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature until slightly puffed, about 45 minutes.
- Meanwhile, put a pizza stone on the bottom of the oven and preheat the oven to 500, allowing at least 30 minutes for the stone to preheat.
- Work with 1 dough rectangle at a time.
- If the dough has shrunk, gently stretch it to a 6-by-12-inch rectangle and transfer it to a floured pizza peel.
- Spread 2 tablespoons of the creme fraiche on the dough and arrange half of the potato slices on top, overlapping them slightly.
- Sprinkle half of the rosemary and lemon zest over the potatoes and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
- Season with Maldon sea salt and black pepper.
- Slide the rectangle onto the hot pizza stone and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until golden brown and crisp.
- Slide the tarte flambee onto a work surface, cut into 2-inch strips and serve.
- Repeat with the remaining dough and toppings.
