Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1000 grams Potatoes
- 300 grams Cantal cheese
- 50 grams Butter
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and slice them into thin rounds, approximately 5mm thick.
Grate or finely chop the garlic cloves.
Grate the Cantal cheese and set it aside.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Once the butter is melted and foaming, add the garlic and sauté for about one minute until fragrant.
Add the sliced potatoes to the skillet, season with salt and black pepper, and stir to combine with the garlic butter.
Flatten the potatoes into a single layer and cook, covered, for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and lightly golden on the edges.
Once the potatoes are cooked, sprinkle the grated Cantal cheese evenly over the potatoes.
Cover the skillet and cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and everything is bubbly and golden.
Finely chop the fresh parsley. Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the parsley over the truffade.
Serve hot, directly from the skillet, as a main dish or hearty side.
