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.   Animal Aid Saint Aubin Don't accept your dog's admiration as conclusive evidence that you are wonderful    Report
