Preparation

Step 1

Preparation
Dough

Pulse pistachios in a food processor until coarsely ground. Add flour, kosher salt, and sugar and pulse until combined. Add butter and pulse until a coarse meal forms. With motor running, slowly add ½ cup ice water and process until dough comes together. Transfer dough to a work surface, form into a ball, and flatten to a disc. Wrap dough in parchment and chill 30 minutes.

Filling and Assembly

Preheat oven to 400º. Heat oil in a small skillet over medium-low; cook leek, stirring occasionally and being careful not to brown, until just softened, about 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, mix cream, goat cheese, and garlic in a medium bowl until smooth. Season with kosher salt and pepper.
Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment. Transfer dough to a work surface and divide into 4 pieces. Working with one piece at a time, roll out to an 8" round. Using an offset spatula, spread one-quarter of the goat cheese mixture on dough, leaving a 1" border. Top with 1 Tbsp. dill and a thin layer of potato slices. Drizzle with oil and season with kosher salt. Top with one-quarter of the leeks. Fold edges over, overlapping slightly. Carefully transfer galette to prepared sheet. Repeat with remaining dough and filling. Brush crusts with egg wash.
Bake galettes until crusts are golden brown and potatoes are soft, 30–40 minutes.
Drizzle with honey and top with dill. Sprinkle peppercorns and sea salt over, if using. Serve warm.
