I ended up doing it mostly on the stove top in a CIS and finished it under the broiler. It probably cooked faster than I had planned because the bottom potatoes were burnt and the middle ones were maybe a little over steamed. I rinsed the starch off the potato slices as recommended by two of the recipes but did not add cornstarch back to the dish as recommended by Cooks Illustrated. That was a mistake because the layers slid apart as I dumped it. I think the starch may have held it together. Also could have done with a little less fat, although with the corn starch added it might have worked.

There was some really good flavor there, but it didn't work as a galette, and the bottom layers were too blackened, so no pics.

Glad you went with the galette, but sorry it didn't work out. The corn starch is needed in that CI recipe. I've made it with and without, and that extra starch helps it all stick.
