Two Cheese Potato Galette

Potatoes are so versatile—I’ve even made potato candy! They are popular across the globe, too, from potato gnocchi to potato dumplings to potato-topped shepherd’s pie. I looked to France for my inspiration, but instead of a dessert galette, I created this savory potato galette with layers of herbs and French Gruyere cheese.
