Ingredients

Scale

For the Galette:

  • 7–8 medium Yukon Gold potatoes, thinly sliced (using a mandoline)
  • 3 tbsp butter, melted
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 1/4 cup Gruyère cheese, grated
  • Parmigiano, grated, to taste
  • Seasoned salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1 8-inch cast iron skillet
  • 1 square parchment paper

Instructions

  • Prepare the Potatoes:
    • Slice the potatoes thinly using a mandoline for even cooking.
    • Pat the sliced potatoes dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  • Preheat the Skillet:
    • Heat the cast iron skillet over medium-high heat with 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
  • Season and Layer:
    • Toss the potato slices with melted butter, seasoned salt, and black pepper in a bowl.
    • Begin layering the potatoes in the skillet, starting from the center and working outward in overlapping circles.
    • After each layer, sprinkle some Gruyère cheese and Parmigiano. Repeat for 6–7 layers, ensuring the top layer is only potatoes.
  • Cook on the Stove:
    • Cover the top of the layered potatoes with parchment paper and place a heavy object (like another pan) on top.
    • Cook over medium-high heat for about 7–8 minutes to create a golden crust on the bottom.
  • Bake the Galette:
    • Remove the heavy object and parchment paper.
    • Transfer the skillet to a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) and bake for 55 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden.
  • Flip and Serve:
    • Remove the skillet from the oven and cover the galette with parchment paper. Carefully flip it onto a cutting board.
    • Sprinkle with flaky sea salt, chopped chives, and more black pepper.
    • Cut into triangles and serve warm.

Notes

  • Be sure to use Yukon Gold potatoes for the best texture and flavor.
  • The galette can be served as a side dish or even as a main vegetarian dish with a side of salad.
