Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized Yukon Gold potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 clove Garlic (optional, finely minced)
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and slice them into very thin rounds, approximately 1/8-inch thick. Use a mandoline slicer if available for even slices.
Place the sliced potatoes in a bowl of cold water to prevent them from browning. Drain and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel before using.
Heat 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Arrange the potato slices in overlapping concentric circles starting from the center of the skillet. Make sure the slices slightly overlap each other to create a cohesive galette layer.
Sprinkle the potatoes lightly with thyme, salt, black pepper, and garlic (if using).
Press down gently on the potatoes with a spatula to ensure they stick together, and cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.
Place a large plate or flat lid over the skillet and carefully invert the galette onto the plate.
Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Once melted, slide the galette back into the skillet, uncooked side down.
Cook the second side for an additional 10-12 minutes, until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the galette from the skillet and let it rest for 2-3 minutes before slicing into wedges. Serve immediately and enjoy!
