Ingredients

Scale

200 g de farine
100 g de beurre
50 ml d'huile d'olive
300 g de pommes de terre
150 g de speck
2 oeufs
100 ml de crème fraîche

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F).
In a large bowl, combine 200 g of flour, 100 g of melted butter, and 50 ml of olive oil. Mix until you achieve a grainy texture with small butter lumps visible. Knead the dough just enough for it to come together, then refrigerate for 15 minutes.
Peel and cube 300 g of potatoes. Steam them for about 10 minutes until slightly tender yet firm. In another bowl, mix the potatoes, 150 g of chopped speck, 2 eggs, and 100 ml of crème fraîche until evenly coated.
On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a 30 cm circle. Place it in a 23 cm tart pan, letting the excess hang over the edges. Pour the potato and speck mixture evenly into the pastry. Fold the edges of the dough over the filling to create a decorative border.
Bake the tourte in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, until the crust is golden and the filling bubbles at the edges.
Allow it to rest in the pan for 15 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Keywords: Consider using firm potatoes like Charlotte to prevent the filling from becoming mushy. For a lighter version, substitute crème fraîche with yogurt or cheese.
