Ingredients

  1. For the dough:
    1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
    34 tablespoons ice water
    For the filling:
    23 medium Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes, thinly sliced
    1 tablespoon olive oil
    1 teaspoon fresh thyme or rosemary, chopped (optional)
    Salt and pepper to taste
    1 cup arugula, fresh and roughly chopped
    1/4 cup crème fraîche
    Zest of 1 lemon (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

In a food processor, combine flour and salt. Add cold cubed butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together.

  1. Gather the dough into a ball, flatten into a disc, and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. In a large pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced potatoes, cook for 5-7 minutes until they soften. Season with salt, pepper, and chopped thyme (or rosemary). Set aside to cool.
  3. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll the chilled dough on a floured surface into a 12-inch circle and transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. Arrange the cooked potatoes in concentric circles on the dough, leaving a 1-2 inch border around the edges. Fold the dough edges over the potatoes to form a rustic border.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, until the crust is golden and the potatoes are tender.
  6. Once out of the oven, scatter arugula over the top and drizzle with crème fraîche. Garnish with lemon zest if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  1. For a richer flavor, add grated Gruyère, Parmesan, or goat cheese on top of the potatoes before baking.
  2. For a heartier dish, add cooked bacon, sausage, or a poached egg on top after baking.
  3. Feel free to substitute different herbs like rosemary, sage, or oregano for varied flavors.
  4. Make it dairy-free by using a dairy-free alternative like cashew cream or dairy-free sour cream instead of crème fraîche.
