Potato Cheese Galette

Lois M's Note:

I love thinly sliced crispy potatoes, and adding cheese to them just makes them all the better. I have searched for a recipe for this dish for a while, and I ended up combining parts of several recipes. I have tried lots of variations, this recipe is my favorite. But you can try differant cheeses, adding herbs, chives, green onions, etc...

What a delightful dish. The combination of the cheeses is a nice surprise. Great presentation.

This is not a review technically speaking, since I haven't made this recipe, but I couldn't resist complimenting the pic. The recipe's pretty simple too, so I can't wait to sink my teenth into it. I'll probably garnish with spring onions or parsley.
