Potato Mushroom Galettes Recipes

POTATO GALETTE WITH WILD MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Cut russet potatoes into 1/8-inch-thick rounds; set aside.
• Melt butter in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Pour all but 2 tablespoons melted butter into large bowl. Add potatoes and minced thyme to this bowl; toss gently to coat. Season potatoes generously with salt and pepper.
• Add mushrooms and garlic to the 2 tablespoons butter remaining in skillet.
• Sauté until mushrooms are tender, about 8 minutes. Cool to room temperature.
• Position rack in bottom third of oven and preheat to 450°F.
• Line bottom of two 9-inch-diameter cake pans with 1 1/2-inch-high sides with parchment paper; brush generously with melted butter.
• Arrange 1 layer of potato slices in bottom of each pan, overlapping slightly.
• Top each with second layer of potato slices.
• Spoon on the mushrooms in each pan.
• Cover with remaining potatoes, dividing equally. Add any remaining butter.
• Bake potatoes until tender and very brown and crisp on top (bottom will also be brown and crisp), about 40 minutes.
• Invert galettes onto platters; peel off parchment. Cut galettes into wedges.
• Tip:.
• Can be made 6 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature. Rewarm potatoes in 350°F oven approximately 10 minutes.

HERBED POTATO GALETTE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Generously grease a 12-cup muffin tin with the 1 tablespoon butter.
• Combine the potatoes, 4 tablespoons melted butter, garlic powder, thyme, 1 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper in a large bowl. Gently toss the potatoes with your hands until fully coated with the butter and herbs. Layer the potatoes in the prepared muffin tin. Tuck 2 onion slices into each potato stack. Bake until the potatoes are easily pierced with a knife and the edges are golden brown, 50 to 60 minutes. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon flaky sea salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.

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.
