Potatoes Galette
Are you ready for the best potato dish you’ve ever had? Because that’s what this potato galette promises! I like to think of myself as a potato connoisseur (just search potato on my blog!) because we eat them at least 3 times a week. My kids absolutely love them and they are a cheap way to fill bellies. So it’s up to me to get a little creative with them because I would be crushed if I ever got tired of them. From ranch potato salad to potato pancakes, you can count on me for the best potato recipes around. Let’s talk about potato galette. It’s a layered potato dish that is just potatoes and seasonings. Of course you need fat to make it all come together. I bet you already have the ingredients you need in your pantry right now! You thinly slice potatoes and layer them in a beautiful design in a pan, then bake until they are golden brown and crispy on top. The inside is creamy and soft and everything you want a potato to be!
Ingredients
I prefer to use russet potatoes for my potatoes galette. I have never tried another type, but I don’t see why yukon gold potatoes or red potatoes wouldnt be just as good (or better)! Instead of using a baking sheet, you will use a cast iron pan or any oven safe serving platter. I prefer to use an oven safe pan because I like to cook my seasonings in the pan over the stove first, and then put the potatoes in that same pan for baking. You can find the measurements below in the recipe card.
Russet Potatoes: You could use other types of potatoes, but I prefer russets for this recipe. Salted Butter: I like to add salted butter because potatoes can handle a lot of salt! You can use unsalted butter if you prefer. Olive Oil: To coat the potatoes for baking. Garlic: Whole cloves of garlic minced. Yellow Onion: They just add tons of flavor to potatoes. Salt and Pepper: For extra flavor, they make the potatoes pop!
Potato Galette Recipe
This is such a simple recipe and the flavor is off the charts! I love potato galette because they are a unique way to make a really basic ingredient. You will start on the stove by warming your onion and garlic with butter. Then toss your potatoes in that butter sauce you just made, and layer them back in the skillet. Then bake until golden brown! So simple yet beautiful and delicious.
Add Fresh Herbs: I like to add fresh herbs on top once the galette is out of the oven but still warm. Things like fresh thyme, fresh rosemary, and green onions are a great option and go great on potatoes. Additional Seasonings: You can add more than just salt and pepper to your potatoes. Things like dried oregano, thyme, paprika, and parsley would all be great. Add Cheese: I absolutely love cheese on my potatoes. I usually like to add freshly ground cheese after the potatoes are done baking. I prefer parmesan cheese and some sour cream, but you could do any type of cheese that you prefer. Some ideas are swiss, cheddar, provolone, and gouda.
In the Refrigerator: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
