• My NOTES:.
• Do not assemble too far ahead of time before baking or the potatoes will turn dark & ugly.
• Very important to slice potatoes thinly.

SWEET-POTATO, APPLE, AND FONTINA GALETTE

Steps:

• Stir together amaretti crumbs, cheeses, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl.
• Peel sweet potatoes and thinly slice crosswise (1/16 inch thick) with slicer, then generously brush bottom of skillet with some melted butter and cover with one third of sweet-potato slices, overlapping slightly. Dab potatoes with butter, then sprinkle evenly with half of amaretti mixture.
• Core and peel apples, then thinly slice crosswise (into 1/16-inch-thick rings) with slicer. Working quickly to prevent apples from discoloring, add half of apples to skillet, overlapping slices slightly, and sprinkle with 1/8 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Top with half of remaining sweet-potato slices and dab with butter, then sprinkle with remaining amaretti mixture. Cover with remaining apples in an even layer. Sprinkle with 1/8 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper and cover with remaining sweet potatoes. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Brush a sheet of foil with butter, then brush galette with any remaining butter and place foil, buttered side down, on top. Place a 10-inch heavy skillet on top of foil to weight galette.
• Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 375°F.
• Cook potato galette on top of stove over moderate heat until underside is golden, about 10 minutes. Remove top skillet and foil.
• Wearing oven mitts, carefully slide galette onto a baking sheet and invert skillet over it. Holding them together, invert galette, browned side up, back into skillet. Cook, uncovered, over moderately high heat until underside is pale golden, about 10 minutes. Transfer skillet to oven and bake galette until a knife inserted in center cuts through easily, about 20 minutes. Slide onto a serving plate.

SWEET POTATO GALETTE

Steps:

• Make the crust: Pulse the flour, sugar and salt in a food processor to mix. While pulsing, drop the butter through the feed tube. Continue pulsing, scraping the bowl occasionally, until the mixture looks like coarse meal dotted with small and large chunks. Add water a little at a time, mixing in short and longer pulses between additions, until bumpy curds form. They should hold together when pinched. Press the dough into a ball, then flatten into a disk and place between parchment paper.
• Roll the dough into a circle a bit larger than 11 inches in diameter, then trim to 11 inches; prick all over with a fork. Refrigerate between parchment on a baking sheet for at least 2 hours (or freeze for 1 hour).
• Center a rack in the oven and heat oven to 400 degrees.
• Cover the chilled crust (still between parchment on the baking sheet) with another baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes, remove the top baking sheet and parchment paper and bake for another 8 minutes or so, until lightly golden. Set aside. (You can make this up to 8 hours ahead.)
• Make the galette: In a medium bowl, with a flexible spatula, beat together the cream cheese, Parmesan, milk, 2 teaspoons maple syrup, 1 teaspoon chile powder and the salt. Taste and add more chile, if you'd like. (It will get hotter when it bakes.) Cut the potato and the apple into very thin rounds using a mandoline or sharp knife.
• While you don't want the cheese mixture to completely cover the crust, you do want the potato and apple slices to go right to the edge of the crust, so spread the cheese mixture over the crust, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Then, cover the entire crust with the potato and apple slices in slightly overlapping concentric circles. (You may have some slices left.) Mix together the remaining 1 tablespoon of maple syrup, the oil and 1/4 teaspoon chile powder. Brush this mixture over the galette (just gloss the top - you might not need all of the mixture). Sprinkle with Parmesan and pecans, if using.
• Bake for about 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are softened and cooked through (test with the point of a knife). Scatter with chives, if using, and let cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. The galette is also good warm or at room temperature.

SWEET POTATO AND YAM GALETTE

Steps:

• Melt butter in heavy medium saucepan over medium heat. Add brown sugar, ginger, lemon peel and salt; stir until sugar dissolves, about 4 minutes. Keep warm.
• Position rack in top third of oven and preheat to 400°F. Line 9- to 10-inch-diameter, 13/4-inch-deep ovenproof skillet with foil. Spray foil with nonstick spray. Toss sweet potatoes and yams with flour in large bowl. Add brown sugar mixture; stir to coat potatoes and yams. Arrange sweet potatoes and yams alternately in overlapping circles in prepared skillet. Spoon any remaining brown sugar mixture over potatoes. Press on potatoes to compact. Cover with foil.
• Bake potatoes until just tender, about 1 hour. Uncover and press potatoes with metal spatula to compact. Continue baking until potatoes are very tender, pressing on potatoes occasionally, about 30 minutes longer. (Can be made 4 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature. Rewarm in 400°F oven about 30 minutes.) Let stand 10 minutes. Using oven mitts, invert skillet onto platter. Remove skillet. Peel off foil. Replace any pieces of sweet potatoes and yams that may have become dislodged. Cut galette into wedges; serve with lemon wedges.

DUCK FAT-POTATO GALETTE WITH CARAWAY AND SWEET ONIONS

Steps:

• Arrange a rack in middle of oven; preheat to 425°F. Brush a foil- or parchment-lined baking sheet with butter; set springform ring on top.
• Toast caraway in a small skillet over medium heat until fragrant, about 1 minute. Let cool. Place in a resealable plastic bag; crush with a rolling pin or bottom of a skillet. Place in a large bowl. Add duck fat, 2 tablespoons butter, 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper. Add potatoes; toss to coat.
• Arrange 1/4 of potatoes in an even layer inside ring on baking sheet, overlapping as needed. Toss onion in a large bowl with 1 tablespoon melted butter. Arrange 1/3 of onion over potatoes. Repeat layers twice more, finishing with a layer of potatoes. Carefully remove ring.
• Bake until potatoes are tender, about 45 minutes. Brush with 1 tablespoon butter. Bake until edges of potatoes are deep golden and top is crisp, 5-10 minutes longer.
• Run a thin spatula under galette to loosen from foil. Slide onto a platter. Season with salt, if desired.

SWEET POTATO GALETTE WITH BALSAMIC-­CARAMELIZED ONIONS AND GOAT CHEESE

Steps:

• Make the filling Pre-­heat oven to 350 ̊F. In a medium-­‐sized bowl, toss the sweet potato cubes with the salt and pepper and enough olive oil to well coat the cubes. Spread sweet potato cubes on a baking tray covered with parchment or a silicone mat. Bake for about 30 minutes - the cubes will be very soft to the touch. Remove sweet potato cubes from the oven and cool on paper towel. Now heat the butter in a heavy frying pan over medium-­‐high heat. Once the butter is melted, add the onion rings, and sauté until soft (about 3 minutes). Lower the heat and add the brown sugar, making sure to thoroughly coat the onion pieces. Once the sugar has melted, add the balsamic vinegar. Keeping an eye on the onions, continue to cook for about 8 minutes until most of the liquid has reduced and the balsamic and sugar has nicely caramelized. Remove pan from heat and set aside. To assemble: Pre-­heat oven to 350 ̊F. Grease a 10 inch quiche or tart pan. Remove the dough from the fridge, let sit for a couple of minutes, then roll between parchment or wax paper or onto a lightly floured surface until it is about 13-­14 inches wide. Remove the pastry from the parchment and press the pastry into the pan (you might need to trim some of the pastry and the parchment around the edges). Take about 3⁄4 of the cooked sweet potato cubes and spread them evenly over the base of the tart. Using the back of a spatula, lightly press the sweet potato to mash it a little. Take about 3⁄4 of the goat cheese rounds and place them evenly around the tart base, pressing them into the sweet potato slightly. Take about 3⁄4 of the onions and scatter them evenly over the goat cheese and sweet potato. Place the rest of the goats cheese, onions and sweet potato cubes evenly over the rest of the filling.
