Galette De Pomme De Terre Potato Galette Recipes

POTATO GALETTES

Steps:

• Line a large oven tray with baking paper and start overlapping the potato slices into 6 individual galettes - making circles about 10cm.
• Season each layer with salt and pepper, shallots and parmesan; continue layering, the last and third layer will be just potato slices, spray lightly with olive oil.
• Bake at 180degC (350degF)for 40mins; don't let them brown if they are to be frozen and reheated at a later stage.
• The galettes can be cooked until just starting to brown, then frozen and later reheated to crisp and brown by reheating in a hot oven for about 20 minutes.

POTATO GALETTE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Heat clarified butter in a 10 1/2-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat until very hot, but not smoking. Place a sprig of thyme in center of skillet. Arrange potatoes in an overlapping spiral to fill pan (be careful, because the fat may spatter). Season with salt and pepper. Brush the bottom of a medium saute pan with clarified butter, and place over potatoes to weigh them down. Cook until golden brown, about 8 minutes.
• Carefully pour off excess butter, if there is any, and reserve. Turn galette out onto a baking sheet. Place another sprig of thyme in center of skillet. Using two spatulas, carefully return galette to skillet, browned side up. Season with salt and pepper. Cover with saute pan; transfer to oven, and bake until second side is brown and potatoes are cooked through, 20 to 30 minutes more. Remove top saute pan 5 minutes before removing skillet from oven. Carefully slide galette onto cutting board. Cut into wedges, and serve immediately.

POTATO GALETTES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment. Using a mandoline or sharp knife, slice potatoes into paper thin rounds. Place a 7-inch nonstick saute pan over medium-low heat. Add 1 tablespoon clarified butter; swirl to coat pan.
• Working quickly, arrange potato slices, slightly overlapping in a circle, beginning at outer edge of pan. Place a smaller ring of potato slices (about 4) inside outer ring; finish with a slice in the center. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Repeat with a second layer of potatoes.
• Place a small plate inside pan to press on potatoes. Cook until edges and bottom begin to turn golden, 5 to 7 minutes. Use a rubber spatula to loosen plate, and remove it; flip galette. Press lightly with spatula; cook until galette is golden and edges are crisp, 2 to 4 minutes.
• Transfer galette to prepared baking sheet; place in oven to keep warm, up to 45 minutes. Repeat with remaining butter and potatoes. When ready to serve, pat gently with paper towels.

CRISP POTATO CAKE (GALETTE DE POMME DE TERRE)

Steps:

• Pat potatoes dry if very starchy or moist. In a sauté pan large enough to fit potato slices in just two layers, spread 1 tablespoon oil and sprinkle with nutmeg and pepper to taste. Starting in center, arrange potato slices in a closely overlapping, attractive spiral. When pan is filled, repeat to make a second layer.
• Place pan over medium heat and cover. Slowly cook potatoes until well browned on underside, about 15 minutes, occasionally shaking pan gently to avoid sticking. Wipe inside of lid as needed to keep it dry.
• Press potatoes down with a flat spatula and remove from heat. Place a larger platter over pan and flip it upside down, transferring potatoes to the platter. Check pan to make sure it is clean and has enough oil to keep potatoes from sticking.
• Slide galette, raw side down, back into pan, and return to medium heat. Cover and cook until well browned, about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare a persillade by combining parsley and garlic in a small bowl. To serve, slide galette onto a serving platter, season to taste with salt, and garnish with persillade or thyme.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200C or 180C fan forced.
• Brush a 20cm springform pan with melted and then combine the remaining butter and garlic in a small bowl.
• Peel potatoes and slice as thin as possible (would suggest a mandolin or food processor).
• Make a layer of potatoes in the base of the pan, overlapping slightly and brush with some garlic butter and season lightly with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
• Repeat layers, brushing each with garlic butter and seasoning with the salt and pepper every couple of layers.
• When you have made the final layer, press down to compact the potato, before giving a final brush of butter.
• Stand pan on a baking tray, cover with foil and bake for 1 hour, uncover pan and cook for a further 30 minutes or until potato is tender and the top is a golden brown.
• Run a knife around the inside of the pan and release the sides and cut into wedges to serve.
