Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 6 red potatoes (medium sized or about 2 pounds)
Butter and Oil Mixture
- 3 tablespoons salted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon chives, fresh and finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon parsley, fresh and chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
For Cooking
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for greasing cast iron skillet)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the galette potatoes.
- Prepare Butter Mixture: Melt the salted butter and mix it with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, chives, and parsley to create a flavorful coating.
- Slice Potatoes: Using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife, thinly slice the red potatoes evenly for uniform cooking.
- Coat Potatoes: Place the sliced potatoes in a large bowl and toss them thoroughly with the butter, garlic, and herb mixture to ensure each slice is well coated.
- Grease Skillet: Use the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to coat the bottom and sides of a cast iron skillet to prevent sticking and promote crisping.
- Layer Potatoes: Arrange the coated potato slices in overlapping concentric circles inside the skillet, sprinkling salt and pepper over each layer as you go to season evenly.
- Add Remaining Butter Mixture: After all potatoes are layered, scrape the bowl and pour any remaining butter mixture over the top to enhance flavor and browning.
- Bake: Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 60-80 minutes until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden brown and crispy.
- Check Doneness: Carefully remove the skillet and gently pull back the top layer of potatoes in the center to check if they are fully cooked through.
- Serve: Remove the galette from the skillet, sprinkle with additional fresh herbs if desired, slice into wedges, and serve hot.
