Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 large Russet potatoes (about 2 pounds or 907 grams), peeled
Herbs and Seasonings:
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Additional Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Cooking spray
Garnish:
- Fresh thyme and rosemary sprigs
Instructions
- Prepare the kitchen workspace by positioning the oven rack in the center and heating to 375°F. Thoroughly coat a 12-cup muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray.
- Select firm, uniform potatoes and create ultra-thin, translucent slices using a mandoline or precision knife, aiming for consistent 1/16-inch thickness.
- Create a fragrant herb-infused coating by whisking together melted butter, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped thyme, crumbled rosemary, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper in a spacious mixing bowl.
- Gently introduce potato slices into the aromatic mixture, carefully rotating and massaging each slice to ensure complete, even coverage with the herbal seasoning.
- Meticulously layer potato slices vertically inside each muffin cavity, pressing down gently to create compact, structured stacks that reach the rim of each cup.
- Distribute any remaining herbal butter mixture evenly across the potato stacks, ensuring maximum flavor infusion and potential crispiness.
- Transfer the muffin pan to the preheated oven, rotating midway through cooking to promote uniform browning. Bake for 45-50 minutes until edges transform into golden, crisp perfection and centers become tender.
- Allow galettes to rest for 5 minutes, enabling them to set and cool slightly. Delicately extract each potato stack using a small offset spatula or careful knife work.
- Embellish with fresh thyme and rosemary sprigs, presenting a visually stunning and aromatic side dish ready for immediate enjoyment.
Notes
- Slice potatoes uniformly to ensure even cooking and consistent crispy texture throughout each galette.
- Use a mandoline for precise, paper-thin potato slices that create delicate, layered edges and maximum crispiness.
- Experiment with different herb combinations like sage, parsley, or chives to customize the flavor profile and match seasonal preferences.
- Make these galettes gluten-free and dairy-free by substituting butter with olive oil or coconut oil and using plant-based alternatives.
