Ingredients
  

Galette Dough
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup unsalted butter frozen, cut into small cubes
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 ½ tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 3 tablespoons ice cold water
Potato Filling
  • 2 medium shallots thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt divided
  • 2 medium Yukon Gold potatoes thinly sliced, ~⅛-inch
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese shredded
  • 1 tablespoon grainy mustard
  • 5.2 ounces Boursin cheese

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a food processor, pulse flour, sugar, salt, thyme, and cold butter until pea-sized crumbs form. Add egg yolks and ice water; pulse until dough resembles wet sand.
  3. Transfer dough to lightly floured surface. Shape into a disk, wrap in plastic, and chill 30–45 minutes.
  4. For filling, heat butter in a pan over medium heat. Add shallots and ½ teaspoon salt; sauté 5 minutes until softened. Remove from heat.
  5. Thinly slice potatoes using a mandolin. Place in a bowl of cold water, rinse, and pat dry.
  6. In a clean bowl, combine potatoes, olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, cooked shallots, thyme, Parmesan, and mustard. Toss to coat.
  7. Remove dough from fridge and roll on parchment into a 14-inch circle. Place parchment with dough on baking sheet.
  8. Spread Boursin cheese in center of dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Add potato filling on top. Fold edges over filling, overlapping and pressing gently to seal.
  9. Whisk one egg yolk and brush over folded edges of dough.
  10. Bake 35–40 minutes until crust is golden brown and crisp.
  11. Let galette cool 5 minutes on a cooling rack before slicing. Serve with a side salad.

Notes
