Potato Bacon Gruyere Tart Potato Pie Recipes

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 TORTE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until just crispy. Drain on paper towel lined plate and set aside. Crumble the bacon when cool to the touch.
• Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, heat the thyme and cream over low heat to a bare simmer. Turn off the heat and let steep for about 5 minutes. Remove the thyme sprigs.
• Remove the pie pan from the refrigerator. Slice the potatoes in half lengthwise and then finely slice the potatoes. Working in circles, arrange the potato slices in the pie crust, stopping to season each layer with salt, pepper, and about 1/4 of the crumbled bacon. Continue layering until the pie pan is nearly full. Top with an even layer of the cheese and gently pour cream around and over the entire pie, allowing it to seep down between the potato slices. (You may not use all the cream.)
• Roll out the remaining disk of refrigerated dough. Cover the pie with the dough and crimp the edges closed. Brush the top and edges of the crust with egg wash. Make a few slits in the center of the top crust, for the steam to escape, and put the pie pan on a baking sheet. Bake the torte until the crust is browned and crispy and the potatoes are cooked through, about 50 to 60 minutes. If the crust edges get too brown, cover them with some strips of aluminum foil. Remove the pie from the oven and let rest at least 15 minutes before cutting into wedges and serving.
• Put the butter, flour, and salt in the food processor, and pulse lightly just until the mixture resembles wet sand. Add the water, 1 tablespoon at a time, pulsing briefly after each spoonful of water. Keep adding water until the dough just begins to gather into larger clumps. Transfer equal amounts of the dough into 2 resealable plastic bags and pat each into a disk. Let rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Remove 1 of the disks from the bag to a flour coated surface. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out to a 10-inch round. Gently fit the rolled dough into a 9-inch pie pan, and refrigerate while you prepare the torte ingredients.

BACON, POTATO AND CHEESE TART

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Coat an 8 inch round baking dish with the butter. Arrange bacon in a spiral fashion in the baking dish, draping ends of the slices over the pan edge to fold over filling.
• Arrange 1/3 of the potatoes over bacon, and sprinkle with 1/3 Fontina cheese. Repeat layers with remaining potatoes and cheese, and season with salt and pepper. Fold bacon over filling to form the upper layer.
• Bake uncovered in the preheated oven 1 hour, or until potatoes are tender. Drain any drippings, and cut into wedges to serve.

POTATO, CANADIAN-BACON AND GRUYERE PIE

• Cover with aluminum foil and bake until the potatoes are cooked through, about 45 minutes. Uncover and bake until the top is browned and bubbly, about 10 to 15 minutes. Divide among 4 plates and serve.
