Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 6 tbsp cold unsalted butter
- 3 tbsp ice water
- 2 medium russet potatoes
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme
- 1 cup Gruyère cheese
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Step 1: For the crust: Pulse 1.5 cups all-purpose flour and 1/2 tsp salt in a food processor, then add 6 tbsp cold cubed butter and pulse until pea-sized crumbs form. Add 3 tbsp ice water and pulse until dough just comes together.
- Step 2: Form dough into a disk, wrap in plastic, and chill for 30 minutes.
- Step 3: Thinly slice 2 medium russet potatoes and toss with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp chopped thyme, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Sauté in a non-stick skillet over medium heat for 8-10 minutes until golden and tender, then set aside.
- Step 4: Roll chilled dough into a 12-inch circle on a floured surface. Arrange potato slices in a spiral pattern over the dough, leaving a 1.5-inch border.
- Step 5: Sprinkle 1 cup grated Gruyère evenly over potatoes, then fold the edges of the dough over the filling. Brush edges with water and crimp. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
