Potato Tart With Bacon Gruyere And Rosemary Food

POTATO TART WITH BACON, GRUYERE, AND ROSEMARY

Steps:

• Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until it's nice and crispy (about 10 minutes). Drain the bacon strips on a paper towel, and pat the excess grease off. Crumble or chop your bacon up into small bits.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Peel the potatoes, then slice them into 1/16″ thick rounds using a mandolin or a knife.
• Line the potato slices up side by side in one even layer inside the unbaked tart shell. Season with salt and pepper, then sprinkle over 2 tbsp of bacon, 3 tbsp gruyere, and a pinch of rosemary.
• Repeat 3 more times, until you have 4 layers of potatoes. Drizzle 1 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil on top, and if you are using a tart pan with a removable bottom, place the tart on a sheet pan so butter doesn't drip out from the bottom and burn in your oven.
• Bake for 45 minutes. Enjoy!

POTATO, BACON, GRUYERE TART - POTATO PIE RECIPE

Steps:

• To make the crust: In a food processor place flour, salt and butter. Pulse until mixture becomes a fine meal. Add the vinegar and the cold water. Keep pulsing until the mixture comes together.
• Remove from food processor and dust with flour. On a floured surface roll out into a 12" circle. Fit into a 10" tart pan. Poke bottom with a fork, cover and place in the freezer for 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Blind bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and immediately brush the bottom and sides with egg wash while hot. This will seal the tart shell.
• Slice potatoes as thinly as possible. Place in water to keep them from turning brown.
• In a skillet heat olive oil on medium and sauté the onion slices until soft and translucent. Sprinkle with herbes de Provence and salt. Set aside to cool.
• Place the brown sugar, pepper and nutmeg in a small bowl. Microwave the diced bacon until just about crispy. Discard the grease and place the bacon in a small skillet on medium heat then add the brown sugar mixture. Stir until the sugars dissolves into the bacon. Set aside and allow to cool.
• Arrange the potatoes forming concentric circles all around the bottom of the tart. Place half the onions on top. Next, add half of the Gruyere cheese, and half of the bacon. Repeat the process.
• Bake for about 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are soft when tested with a toothpick. Tip: When the potatoes are soft turn on the broiler and watch carefully to brown the cheese on top then serve.
• Remove from oven and garnish with parsley.
