Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 2 pounds Russet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced (about 1/8 inch thick)
Seasoning
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Optional
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes: Peel and slice your potatoes thinly into even rounds, about 1/8 inch thick, to ensure uniform cooking and crispy edges.
- Season the Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the potato slices with olive oil, minced garlic, fresh parsley, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper to coat each slice evenly.
- Layer in the Muffin Pan: Lightly grease each muffin cup. Arrange the seasoned potato slices in an overlapping circular pattern inside each cup, packing them tightly to help the galettes hold their shape during baking.
- Bake Until Golden: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake the galettes for 35-45 minutes until the edges are golden brown and crispy, and the centers are tender.
- Cool and Serve: Let the galettes cool for a few minutes, then carefully remove them from the muffin pan using a knife or small spatula to keep their shape intact. Optionally, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
Notes
- Use a mandoline or sharp knife for uniform potato slices to ensure even cooking.
- Soak sliced potatoes in cold water for 15 minutes to remove excess starch and improve crispiness.
- Do not skimp on olive oil as it’s essential for browning and flavor.
- Pack potato slices tightly in muffin cups to help galettes hold together well.
- Adjust baking time depending on your oven and potato slice thickness for best results.
- Grease muffin cups well or use silicone pans to prevent sticking.
