POTATO GALETTE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Heat clarified butter in a 10 1/2-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat until very hot, but not smoking. Place a sprig of thyme in center of skillet. Arrange potatoes in an overlapping spiral to fill pan (be careful, because the fat may spatter). Season with salt and pepper. Brush the bottom of a medium saute pan with clarified butter, and place over potatoes to weigh them down. Cook until golden brown, about 8 minutes.
• Carefully pour off excess butter, if there is any, and reserve. Turn galette out onto a baking sheet. Place another sprig of thyme in center of skillet. Using two spatulas, carefully return galette to skillet, browned side up. Season with salt and pepper. Cover with saute pan; transfer to oven, and bake until second side is brown and potatoes are cooked through, 20 to 30 minutes more. Remove top saute pan 5 minutes before removing skillet from oven. Carefully slide galette onto cutting board. Cut into wedges, and serve immediately.

SWEET POTATO GALETTE

Steps:

• Make the crust: Pulse the flour, sugar and salt in a food processor to mix. While pulsing, drop the butter through the feed tube. Continue pulsing, scraping the bowl occasionally, until the mixture looks like coarse meal dotted with small and large chunks. Add water a little at a time, mixing in short and longer pulses between additions, until bumpy curds form. They should hold together when pinched. Press the dough into a ball, then flatten into a disk and place between parchment paper.
• Roll the dough into a circle a bit larger than 11 inches in diameter, then trim to 11 inches; prick all over with a fork. Refrigerate between parchment on a baking sheet for at least 2 hours (or freeze for 1 hour).
• Center a rack in the oven and heat oven to 400 degrees.
• Cover the chilled crust (still between parchment on the baking sheet) with another baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes, remove the top baking sheet and parchment paper and bake for another 8 minutes or so, until lightly golden. Set aside. (You can make this up to 8 hours ahead.)
• Make the galette: In a medium bowl, with a flexible spatula, beat together the cream cheese, Parmesan, milk, 2 teaspoons maple syrup, 1 teaspoon chile powder and the salt. Taste and add more chile, if you'd like. (It will get hotter when it bakes.) Cut the potato and the apple into very thin rounds using a mandoline or sharp knife.
• While you don't want the cheese mixture to completely cover the crust, you do want the potato and apple slices to go right to the edge of the crust, so spread the cheese mixture over the crust, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Then, cover the entire crust with the potato and apple slices in slightly overlapping concentric circles. (You may have some slices left.) Mix together the remaining 1 tablespoon of maple syrup, the oil and 1/4 teaspoon chile powder. Brush this mixture over the galette (just gloss the top - you might not need all of the mixture). Sprinkle with Parmesan and pecans, if using.
• Bake for about 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are softened and cooked through (test with the point of a knife). Scatter with chives, if using, and let cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. The galette is also good warm or at room temperature.
