    SWEET POTATO GALETTE

    Are you a fan of sweet potatoes? I am! I love sweet potato pie but this Thanksgiving I'm making these mini sweet potato galettes. Aren't they just too adorable!  I love that they are mini hand pies, so there's really no need to use a fork.

    These mini sweet potato galettes are perfect for the holidays coming up.  Place them out on a serving platter and let everyone help themselves. The also make delicious gifts. .

Buttery, flaky homemade pie crust with a flavorful rich sweet potato filling and fall spices! Your guests will feel so special when you give them their own personal galette as they head home.

    I've made this sweet potato galette two different ways. One with homemade pie crust and the other with store bought pie crust. The homemade pie crusts tastes way better! Nothing like a rich buttery and flaky crust.

    There's nothing wrong with store bought but flavor wise, homemade is always a winner! On the other hand, if you are making these for a large number of people, I'd say go ahead and put that store pie crust to work!

    HOW TO MAKE A SWEET POTATO PIE GALETTE

    The picture tutorial below can be used as a guidance for both homemade and store bought pie crust.

    If you are using homemade pie crust, please check out steps 1-3 below in the picture tutorial, skip steps 4 and 5 (steps 4 and 5 is for store bought pie only) then roll out

    each of your chilled dough ball to 6 inch rounds then pick up at step 6 .

    Sweet potato galette dough
    2  ½ cups flour

    3 tbs sugar
    1 tsp salt
    1 stick and a half of very cold butter cut into ½ inch cubes.
    4-5 tbsp water

    Sweet potato filling
    1 cup sweet potato
    ½ plus ¼ cup sugar
    1 stick butter melted
    ¼ plus ⅛ tsp nutmeg
    ½ plus ⅛ tsp cinnamon
    1 tsp vanilla
    ¼ tsp lemon juice
    very tiny small pinch of cardamom (a little goes a long way) (optional)
    ¼ plus a pinch of salt

    For the egg wash:
    1 tbsp milk
    1 egg yolk

     

    SWEET POTATO GALETTE FILLING:

    For small sweet potatoes cook in the microwave for 5-7 minutes.

    For larger sweet potatoes cook in the microwave for 10-15 minutes. Make sure you check to see if they have softened up before the cook time is up because if the sweet potatoes cook too long they

    may dry out. Let the potatoes cool then remove potatoes from their skins and mash them up. You should have 1 cup of sweet potato puree.

    Add all of the sweet potato pie filling ingredients into a large bowl and beat with at hand mixer until smoother or use a food processor and pulse until the potato mixture is smooth with  no chunks

    of sweet potato. Remove the filling from the food processor and pour it into a small bowl (see pic right below) set aside.This Thanksgiving, give your sweet potato pie a new look by turning them into sweet potato mini galettes.

    TO MAKE THE  GALETTE CRUST:

    The sweet potato galette pie crust is very easy to make. First, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Put the flour, salt and sugar into the food processor. Pulse about 3-4 times. Then add the ½ inch cubed cold unsalted butter into the food processor with the flour mixture and toss until the butter

    is coated with the flour. Cut the flour into the butter with the food processor until the mixture is a bit smaller than pea sized. If you see pieces that are bigger than pea sized that is okay.

    Add the water and pulse until the dough starts sticking and coming together and the dough mixture resembles coarse meal. Dump the dough onto a lightly floured surface and roll dough into a

    ball. Divide the dough into 6 equal part and roll into 6 small balls. Chill for 30 minutes.

    For store bought pie crust: 

    Roll out the store dough an ½ -2 inches more.

    Using a bowl that's about 6 inches in diameter, cut 2 rounds by pressing down on the bowl. Re-roll the scraps. You should be able to get one more round.

    Repeat the same process with the other piecrust. You should be able to make 6 rounds.

    Gently fold the edges of the disc towards the sweet potato mixture. Press the folded and gathered areas gently to to adhere the folds.

    To achieve that golden colored galette crust, make an egg wash by beating together the egg yolk and milk. Using a pastry brush, brush edges of each galette with the egg wash and sprinkle the dough with turbinado or granulated sugar.

    Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden. Serve warm or at room temperature with whipped cream if you like. Store galettes in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
