  1. This is a tasty way to cook potatoes & also ensures that you remove a lot of the starch as well (if eating a lot of starch concerns you!). The galette didn't taste oily at all, I cooked it first & then put it in the oven on 180 degrees Celsius while I prepared the other food (which took about 15 mins). The cheese filling wasn't too rich, I served this with salmon & greens. Thanks Evelyn, this recipe was great.

I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages! I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure. So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call. What did I do wrong? Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths. I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time. That's all for now.
