This was easy enough to bake and then cut into squares to serve. I would definitely use an Idaho Potato or some starchy potato to even out the meatiness of the thick-cut bacon. We also threw some chiffonaded basil on there for color since it was a little gray-brown (yummm I know)
Here ya go:
Alsatian Potato and Bacon Tart
Ingredients:
6 ounces meaty slab or thick cut bacon, cut into 1/4 inch pieces
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
1 medium baking potato, peeled and coarsely shredded
2 teaspoons sherry vinegar
2 teaspoons snipped chives
1 teaspoon chopped sage
Salt and Freshly Ground Pepper
1/2 prepared pizza or bread dough, thawed if frozen ( I used Trader Joe's brand - the one with herbs in it - they also had a whole wheat one)
1/4 cup creme fraiche
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 500°. In a large, heavy skillet, cook the bacon over moderate heat until lightly browned around the edges, about 3 minutes; drain. Add the onion to the skillet and cook over moderate heat until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Add the potato and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes; add a little water to the pan if the potato begins to stick. Stir in the vinegar, chives and sage and season with salt and pepper; remove from the heat.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to a 10-by-13-inch rectangle. Transfer to a lightly floured baking sheet, stretching it back into the rectangle.
- Stir the crème fraîche and nutmeg into the potato mixture and spread it over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border all around. Scatter the bacon on top. Bake the tart for 12 minutes, or until the edges are browned. Cut into squares and serve hot.
