While leek and potatoes are a classic pairing for soup, they also work brilliantly together in a galette. Tangy and creamy goat cheese takes this galette to a new level of yumminess.

The dough for this galette comes together in about one minute in the food processor. It’s a very versatile recipe that can be used for both sweet and savoury galettes. I like to make the dough ahead of time, roll it out and freeze it. That way, I can make a galette any time I have a craving.

There are 2 unusual ingredients in the dough. The first is a bit of sour cream. Sour cream helps the texture of the dough stay tender and adds to the flakiness. It also adds a nice tang to the flavour. The second unusual ingredient oil cornmeal. It contributes a subtle crunch to the dough and makes this dough a dream to roll out.

Watch this galette come together:

Tips for success:

• Don’t over mix the dough. Stop the food processor just before the dough rolls into a ball.
• Make sure your butter is very cold and the water is ice cold.
• The potatoes need to be sliced thinly and par cooked in the microwave for about 4 minutes before layering onto the galette. Raw potatoes will not cook thoroughly in the galette.
• Bake in lower third of the oven. You want the bottom crust to get nice and brown. Cover top of galette with a bit of foil after 30-35 minutes of baking if the top is getting too brown.
• Add a it more gruyere and goat cheese to the top of the galette for the last 5 minutes of baking time.
• Garnish with fresh dill for an extra pop of colour and flavour.
• This can be served hot, warm or even at room temperature. Leftovers the next day can be heated up in a 350°F oven for 5 minutes.
