Rosemary Potato Galette Recipes

HERBED POTATO GALETTE

Steps:

• Coarsely grate the potatoes. Dry thoroughly by rubbing them between two clean kitchen towels. Place the grated potatoes in a large bowl, mix in the herbs and season with salt and pepper to taste. Heat the oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium high heat until almost smoking. Add the potatoes in a flat even layer. Shake the pan frequently to prevent the galette from sticking. After 3 to 4 minutes, invert the potatoes onto a plate and carefully slide them back into the pan, reduce the heat to low and continue cooking for another 20 to 30 minutes. Cut into wedges.

ROSEMARY POTATO GALETTE

Steps:

• Peel the potatoes and slice them really thin, dropping the slices into a bowl of cold water as you go along. When they are all sliced, drain and pat dry.
• Melt 2 tbls. of the butter in a 10" nonstick skillet. Swirl the butter to coat the surface; then remove the skillet from the heat. Arrange 1/3 of the potato slices in a spiral, starting in the center and overlapping, so that the bottom of the skillet is covered.
• Cut 2 tbls. of the butter into small pieces and sprinkle them over the potatoes. Then sprinkle the potatoes with 1/2 teaspoons of the rosemary,1/2 tsp of the parsley, 1/4 teaspoons of the thyme, and salt and pepper. Repeat, making 2 more layers of potates, butter, and seasonings, pressing each layer down with a spatula.
• Place the skillet over medium low heat, and cook until the bottom is crisp and golen brown, 45 minutes. Then invert the galette onto a flat plate and slip it back into the skillet. Continue cooking until the other side is golden, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Invert the galette agaiin onto a serving platter. Cut it into wedges and serve immediately. Enjoy!

CRUSTY POTATO GALETTE

Steps:

• In a small bowl stir together the butter and the oil. In a food processor fitted with a 1-millimeter slicing blade or with a mandoline or similar hand-held slicing device, slice the potatoes thin. Working quickly to prevent the potatoes from discoloring, brush the bottom of a 9-inch cast-iron skillet with some of the butter mixture and cover it with a layer of the potato slices, overlapping them. Brush the potatoes with some of the remaining butter mixture, sprinkle them with some of the rosemary, and season them with salt and pepper. Layer the remaining potatoes with the remaining butter mixture and the rosemary in the same manner.
• Heat the mixture over moderately high heat until it begins to sizzle, transfer the skillet to the middle of a preheated 450°F. oven, and bake the galette for 25 minutes, or until it is golden and the potatoes are tender. Cut the galette into wedges.
