Suninfrance Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 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.Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassis Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 Here's a site with the recipe. No mention of tuna - a special added ingredient, perhaps.Gateau de Pommes de TerreIf 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?Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suninfrance Posted July 2, 2006 Author Share Posted July 2, 2006 Hi PhilSaw 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.Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Animal Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 Maybe it's under the recipes for Tourte aux Pommes de Terre, where you can add anything like tuna, bacon, cheese, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
