750gbag new potatoes(use a waxy variety like Charlotte, Jersey Royal or Cypriot)
2-3tbspolive oil
2 2tspdried oregano or thyme
1-2tspsea salt
freshly ground black pepper
fresh thyme leaves
fresh parsley
Instructions
Place the yeast, honey and warm water in a small bowl while you measure out the remaining dough ingredients.
Place the flour and salt in the mixing bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook and mix gently to incorporate the salt. NOTE: You can do this by hand but it is quite a wet dough, so you will need to work it with a dough scraper.
Pour the yeast mixture into the flour while the mixer is on and allow to mix until all ingredients are well combined. Knead on medium/high setting until the dough is smooth, approximately 5 minutes. This may take longer if kneading by hand.
Scrape down the dough and leave it in the bowl, cover with a damp tea-towel and set aside for about an hour to prove.
While the dough is proving, wash and slice the potatoes very thinly, using a mandolin or food processor if you have one. Place the sliced potatoes in a bowl of cold water to stop them from oxidising and discolouring.
Once the dough has risen, remove from the bowl onto a floured work surface. Portion the dough into 2 pieces and place each piece of dough onto a baking tray lined with either baking parchment or a silicone mat. You could also use a pizza stone if you have one.
Using either your hands, or a rolling pin, work each piece into a thin round. NOTE: The dough is quite pliable so its easy to use your hands.
Top the flattened dough with the sliced potatoes in a fan shape overlapping like roof tiles. Sprinkle the galette with the sea salt, black pepper, dried herbs and olive oil.
Place the baking sheets in a preheated oven at 210CFan/230C/450F and bake for 10-12 minutes until golden.
Once baked, remove from the oven and finish the galette with chopped fresh herbs. This galette can be served sliced warm or cold.
