Mother’s Day may look a little different this year — and while we might not be gathering in large groups to celebrate mom or the mother figure in our lives, it doesn’t mean that we can’t still show her we care. Drop off a batch of these Baking Therapy potato and leek galettes! They’re flaky, cheesy and drizzled with sweet honey. Made with homemade chive pie dough (store-bought dough works too!) and layered with creamy fontina cheese, caramelized leeks and yellow potatoes that crisp up around the edges. These individual galettes transport really well and heat up perfectly in a toaster oven!
ingredients
Chive Pie Dough
Caramelized Leeks
Assembly
directions
Special equipment: Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer, Amazon, $500 or KitchenAid Digital Countertop Oven, Amazon, $150.
For the pie dough: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, salt. Add the butter and rub between your fingers to break it up into pea-sized pieces. Add in chopped chives. In a separate bowl, mix together the water and apple cider vinegar. Add 8-10 Tbsp of the water-vinegar mixture to the flour and mix with a fork until the dough starts to come together, dough will feel a little dry. Transfer to plastic wrap, form into a disc and chill for 45 minutes.
For the caramelized leeks: in a non-stick skillet over medium-heat, melt the butter and add olive oil. Add the leeks, salt to taste and saute for 15-20 minutes until the leeks are soft. Set aside to cool.

Preheat oven to 425°F, line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
Divide the pie dough into 6 equal portions. Roll out to about 8 inches in diameter. Spread about 1 Tbsp cream cheese, leaving about 1 inch from the edge. Add 2 Tbsp caramelized leeks, sprinkle on fontina cheese, Parmesan and layer on the sliced potatoes. Fold the edges over the potatoes, pleating as you work your way around. Stagger on baking sheets and freeze for 15 minutes.
Drizzle the tops of the potatoes with a little olive oil, brush dough with egg wash and add a pinch of flaky salt. Bake for 22-28 minutes until the dough is golden brown. Serve with a drizzle of honey.
