Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 750 grams waxy potatoes (e.g., Yukon Gold)
- 30 grams unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 200 grams Cantal cheese (or Gruyère), grated
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and slice them into thin rounds, about 2-3mm thick. Rinse the potatoes in cold water to remove excess starch, then pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Heat a large skillet (preferably non-stick or cast iron) over medium heat and add the butter and olive oil. Once the butter has melted, add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the potato slices to the skillet, spreading them out evenly. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss gently to coat the potatoes with the butter and garlic.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and cover the skillet with a lid. Cook the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and lightly golden. Be careful not to let them stick to the bottom of the pan.
Once the potatoes are cooked, sprinkle the grated Cantal cheese evenly over the top. Cover again and let the cheese melt for 3-5 minutes.
Remove the skillet from the heat and let it sit uncovered for a minute or two. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
Serve the Vegetarian Truffade immediately while it's hot and melty. Enjoy as a main course alongside a crisp green salad or as a hearty side dish.
