For the Crust
Whisk flour and salt well.
Using a food processor, pulse flour and cold cubed butter together until the mixture is sandy.If not using a food processor, squeeze butter and flour between fingertips in a chilled bowl until mixture is sandy. If mixture gets too warm and butter starts getting too soft or melted, put the bowl in the freezer for a minute or two.
Add ice water one tablespoon at a time until the dough just comes together. It won't be wet, and it's ok if you still see some dry bits.
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gather all the flour into a ball.
Flatten into a disk and cover with plastic wrap.Refrigerate the dough for at least one hour or up to two days.
For the Filling
Melt butter in a large heavy bottom skillet. Add shallots and cook on medium heat until browned.
Add onions, celery and tarragon and cook until just slightly softened (2-3 min)
Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add carrots and potatoes and cook until just softened (3-5 min)

Turn off heat and add heavy whipping cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste
