Potato and Kale Galette
Summer Entertaining at its Best…
When it comes to dinners this summer, this potato and kale galette recipe is going to be at the top of the list. During this time of year, I love nothing more than making tart-based dishes like this. That way, I have something that I can double on lunches throughout the week or a cheeky leftover mid-week dinner.
Galettes are great because they don’t require looking too perfect. You can throw pretty much anything into a galette, sweet or savoury. Personally, I can’t wait to show off a sweet version of this on Instagram very soon.
This potato and kale galette is a filling one. You’ll only need a simple salad to complete the meal. The mixture of potato with the spice gives the dish a little kick. The freshness of the kale, feta and lemon is a lovely surprise.
If you really wanted to level up this potato and kale galette, you can use goat’s cheese instead, or something even richer. Alternatively, use leeks, asparagus or any other seasonal vegetables. Just make sure they are not too wet so the bottom of the tart is too soggy.

Potato and Kale Galette
Ingredients
- 1 ready roll shortcrust pastry
- 75 g chopped kale
- 1 lemon
- 50 g feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 red potatoes, thinly sliced
- 1 sweet potato, thinly sliced
- 1 tsp chilli powder
- 1 tsp French herbs
- olive oil
Instructions
- Place the kale and a pinch of salt in a large pan with enough olive oil to fully coat the surface. Cook over high heat for about 3-5 minutes until the kale is bright green and wilted.
- Remove from the heat, add lemon zest over top, and once cool enough to handle squeeze the kale with your hands to remove some of the excess water. Add the crumbled feta to the kale.
- Place the red potatoes in a bowl and coat them with olive oil and salt. Place the sweet potatoes in another bowl and coat them with olive oil, salt, and chilli powder to taste.
- Roll out the chilled dough onto baking paper. Roll out the chilled dough onto the bottom, leaving an inch rim to fold up.
- Layer the sliced potatoes on top, alternating between the red and sweet in a concentric pattern. Fold the galette dough up around the potatoes, pinching each turn. Beat 1 egg in a small dish and brush it onto the dough.
- Sprinkle coarse sea salt around the rim and drizzle olive oil over the top of the potatoes.
- Place into the preheated oven for 20-30 minutes until the potatoes develop a bit of golden brown colour. You can also use a toothpick to see if it easily goes through the potatoes when pricked.
- Serve with a fresh salad and enjoy!
