Potato galettes are a delicious and versatile dish that can serve as a side or a main course. Made with simple ingredients like potatoes and vegetable oil, these crispy, golden-brown patties are easy to prepare and cook. Follow this guide for a perfect outcome every time.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Wash and peel the potato.
- Using a grater or a mandoline, finely grate the potato into thin shreds. If desired, you can rinse the grated potato briefly under cold water to remove excess starch, then pat it dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or a heavy-bottomed frying pan over medium-high heat.
- Add the 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the pan and allow it to heat up until it shimmers but is not smoking.
- Once the oil is hot, take a small handful of the grated potato and place it in the pan, flattening it out with a spatula to form a thin, even layer. You can make multiple small galettes or a few larger ones depending on your preference.
- Cook the potato galette on one side for about 3-4 minutes, or until the edges start to turn golden brown and crispy.
- Carefully flip the galette with a spatula and cook the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Once the galettes are cooked and crispy on both sides, remove them from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- Serve the potato galettes hot.
Tips:
- Choose a starchy potato variety, such as Russet potatoes, for a crispier texture.
- Make sure to squeeze out as much moisture as possible from the grated potatoes to ensure a crispy galette.
- Don't overcrowd the pan while cooking, as this can lead to steaming rather than frying, making the galettes less crispy.
- Maintain medium heat to ensure the potatoes cook through and become crispy without burning on the outside.
- Season the grated potatoes with salt and pepper before cooking for an even flavor.
With these straightforward steps and helpful tips, you can master the art of making perfect potato galettes. Enjoy these crispy delights on their own or pair them with your favorite toppings and sides. Happy cooking!
