There are few things in the world more delicious and versatile than potatoes. They can be baked, mashed, or fried, but are extra delicious when they're layered together into a galette, providing both soft and crunchy bites. Though this recipe can be made with traditional white potatoes, using purple potatoes makes it even prettier. This makes an awesome side dish for a steak, but it's also great at breakfast time with a fried egg or two.
