Potato Tourte

This recipe was admittedly exactly the type of recipe I'd have passed over

 based on how complicated it sounded. Not needing exotic or numerous

 ingredients, it simply sounded like extensive prep time and lots of steps 

from start to finish. Which makes nice cookbook reading, not kitchen work. 

Lucky for me, this cooking and blogging community affords me the luxury 

of not even considering passing up a selected group recipe. Key for those

 who have the local pizzeria on speed dial. It is simply an adventure, and like 

so many others - this week I was so very glad I went on that adventure.

Broken down into separate parts, the steps were not overwhelming. 

I was truly surprised by this as I prepared the dish. The results looked

 amazing. The taste of the creamy seasoned potatoes in that flaky puff 

pastry crust was as delicious as expected. I didn't have any of my 

favorite bacon or ham to add to it this time, I'll be planning on

 adding some next time -and there WILL be a next time !
