Crispy, golden, and packed with savory flavor, Galletes De Pommes De Terre Potato Cakes are a French-inspired delight perfect for any meal of the day. Made with simple pantry staples like russet potatoes, a touch of all-purpose flour, and fresh parsley, these skillet-fried cakes are irresistibly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The key to their perfect texture lies in squeezing out the excess moisture from shredded potatoes before mixing them with an egg and seasoning for binding. Pan-fried to perfection in butter and oil, these potato cakes make a versatile side dish or a satisfying snack. Serve them warm with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for a rustic yet refined addition to your table. Whether you're looking for a quick brunch recipe or a crowd-pleaser for dinner, these potato cakes are guaranteed to impress!
Peel the russet potatoes and shred them using a box grater. Place the shredded potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded potatoes, flour, egg, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
Heat 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter and 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Scoop approximately 2 tablespoons of the potato mixture for each cake and shape it into a flat patty with your hands.
Working in batches, place the potato cakes in the skillet, ensuring they do not touch. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
Add more butter and oil to the skillet as needed for subsequent batches.
Once cooked, transfer the potato cakes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve the galettes de pommes de terre immediately, garnished with additional chopped parsley, if desired.
