Potato Galette stuffed with smoked salmon and cream cheese

I really like these hash-brown-like potatoes!..work great with breakfast, lunch or dinner, and may be stuffed with anything your taste and imagination can come to.



Ingredients for a 9 in. potato galette:

1  large potato
1 green onion chopped separating the green from the white part.
some shredded smoke salmon
cream cheese
salt and pepper
vegetable oil

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350F.
Shred the potato and put it in a bowl with a tea towel or cheese cloth in it.





Cover the potato with water, do not let any piece be over the water, otherwise it will oxidize.


Let it stand for 15 min. and then squeeze all the water out of them.

Toss them generously with salt and pepper.

Heat a non-stick pan to medium heat and drizzle oil to cover the bottom. Throw half of the potatoes into the pan and form a "pancake".Press and wait until the bottom is golden browned.

Now flip it, help yourself by using a plate and an spatula. First put the plate over the pan






Then, with your right hand  holding the pan and your left hand over the plate, flip the whole thing. Now your hand with the plate , and the potato pancake, is on the bottom and the pan on top. Put the pan again on the stove and slide the galette again in the pan, helping yourself with the spatula, so the it browns on the other side.

When the other side is done, transfer this first galette to a cookie sheet and spread the cream cheese, the smoke salmon and the chopped white part of the green onion.



Cook the second galette the exact same way, when it is done on both sides, put it on top of the prepared galette with cheese and salmon.


Transfer to the oven for 10 min. and serve. It can be cut down as a pie or serve whole.
