Last night we went to dinner with our French neighbours (it's their holiday home - 2 families in hamlet, me & OH and theirs when they are around). Anyway, we had the most delicious Gateau de Pomme de Terre which was cooked in their bread oven.
It was a bread like pastry lining a flan tin filled with sliced potatoes, tuna and herbs (and possibly a light creamy mix of some sort) and topped with the same pastry topping. Absolutely delicious served with lettuce dressed in oil.
Has anyone come across this, have a recipe they could send me?
I meant to ask for the recipe before they left this afternoon, but in a senior moment forgot to ask and I'll probably forget to ask next time they are over in August.

Hi Phil
Saw that one when I Googled and I might have a go at making it. It looks to be a "lighter" version of the one I had last night, but I'll give it a go.
Maybe it's under the recipes for Tourte aux Pommes de Terre, where you can add anything like tuna, bacon, cheese, etc.
I have this recipe if it is any help:
Le pâté de pommes de terre
400g de pâté feuilletée, briochée ou sable
4 pommes de terre moyennes,
2 échalotes
2 gousses d’ail
10 branches de persil plat
20 cl de crème fraîche
Sel, poivre
Tapisser une tourtière de pâté, garnir des pommes de terre émincées, mélangées aux échalotes, a l’ail et au persil haches, sales et poivres; recouvrir de pâte, souder, dorer, ménager au centre une petite cheminée dans laquelle couler, en sortant le pâté du four la crème fraîche
