Anyone know how to make .............
Reply Quote

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.

Here's a site with the recipe.  No mention of tuna - a special added ingredient, perhaps.

Gateau de Pommes de Terre

If you Google it there are loads of variations but this is the only one with anything like bread - except it is flaky pastry.  Maybe they are interchangeable?

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
