Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Russet potatoes
- 2 medium Apples (such as Honeycrisp or Granny Smith)
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a 9-inch oven-safe skillet or tart pan by lightly greasing it with olive oil.
Peel the potatoes and apples, then slice both thinly (about 1/8 inch thick) using a sharp knife or mandoline. Keep the apple slices in a bowl of water with a splash of lemon juice to prevent browning.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the olive oil and fresh thyme leaves, stirring to combine. Remove from heat.
Layer the potato slices in the skillet or tart pan in a circular pattern, slightly overlapping the edges. Brush a thin layer of the butter mixture over the potatoes, then sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Drain and dry the apple slices, and create another layer on top of the potatoes using the apple slices in the same circular, overlapping pattern. Brush with the butter mixture, and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper.
Repeat the layering process, alternating between potatoes and apples, until all slices are used or the pan is full, finishing with a potato layer on top.
Brush the final potato layer generously with the remaining butter mixture. Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese evenly over the top for a crisp, golden finish.
Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden brown.
Allow the galette to cool for 5 minutes before slicing into wedges. Serve warm as a side dish or light main course.
