Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and place the oven rack in the center position.
Peel the russet potatoes and slice them into thin, round slices approximately 1/8 inch thick using a sharp knife or mandoline slicer.
In a small bowl, melt the unsalted butter and mix it with the olive oil. Stir in the fresh thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper.
Using a 10-inch oven-safe skillet or cast iron pan, brush the bottom and sides with a bit of the butter and oil mixture to prevent sticking.
Arrange the potato slices in overlapping concentric circles starting from the outer edge of the pan and working your way toward the center, creating an even and beautiful pattern.
Brush the prepared butter and oil mixture generously over the first layer of potatoes. If desired, sprinkle with a light dusting of grated Parmesan cheese.
Repeat the layering process with the remaining potato slices, seasoning each layer with butter and Parmesan as you go until all slices are used.
Place the skillet on the stovetop over medium heat for about 5 minutes to crisp up the bottom layer of the galette.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and the edges are golden and crispy.
Once done, carefully remove the skillet from the oven and let the galette cool for 5 minutes.
Run a spatula around the edges of the skillet to loosen the galette, then invert it onto a serving plate so the crispy bottom is facing up.
Slice into wedges and serve warm as a side dish or main course with a fresh salad or protein of your choice.
