Potato galette

Potato galette is a classic French dish known for its crispy exterior and soft, flavorful interior. It's an elegant yet simple way to prepare potatoes and serves as an excellent side dish or even a main course.

Ingredients:

1/3 cup butter
70g
2 garlic cloves
6g
5 potatoes
1000g

Instructions:

1. Preparation:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Peel the garlic cloves and finely mince them.
- Peel the potatoes and thinly slice them. You can use a mandoline slicer for uniform thin slices.
2. Butter and Garlic:
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Be careful not to let it brown.
- Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and cook for about 2-3 minutes, until fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.
3. Assemble the Galette:
- Take a 9-inch ovenproof skillet or a round baking dish and lightly grease it with some of the garlic butter mixture.
- Arrange a layer of potato slices in a circular pattern at the bottom of the skillet, slightly overlapping each slice.
- Brush the potato layer with some of the garlic butter mixture.
- Repeat layering the potatoes and brushing with the garlic butter until all the potatoes and butter are used up, finishing with a layer of butter on top.
4. Bake:
- Cover the skillet with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 45 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the potatoes are tender.
5. Serve:
- Allow the Potato Galette to sit for 5 minutes before slicing.
- Carefully slice into wedges and serve warm.

Tips:

- Choose starchy potatoes like Russets for a fluffier interior.

- Use a mandoline slicer for even potato slices, ensuring uniform cooking.

- Press down the potato layers firmly to create a compact galette that holds together well.

- Start cooking on the stovetop to get a crispy crust, then finish in the oven for thorough cooking.

- Allow the galette to rest for a few minutes before slicing to retain its shape.

This potato galette is not only delicious but also visually appealing with its golden-brown crust. Serve it hot and enjoy the perfect combination of crispy and tender potato layers.
