Main Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced (about 1/8 inch thick)
- 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Butter or additional olive oil, for greasing muffin pan (optional)
- Prepare the Potatoes: Peel and thinly slice the russet potatoes about 1/8 inch thick. Soak the slices briefly in cold water to remove excess starch, then drain thoroughly.
- Season and Mix: Pat the potato slices completely dry. Toss them gently with minced garlic, chopped thyme and parsley, olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Fill the Muffin Pan: Lightly grease a muffin pan with butter or oil. Layer the potato slices into each cup, pressing down slightly to compact and form each galette.
- Bake Until Golden: Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 30 to 35 minutes or until the edges are golden and crispy. Optionally, broil for 1-2 minutes to add extra crunch—watch carefully.
- Serve Warm: Allow galettes to cool slightly before gently removing from the pan. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Dry potatoes very well before seasoning to ensure maximum crispiness.
- Use fresh herbs for the most vibrant flavor and aroma.
- Do not overcrowd the muffin pan to allow even heat circulation and browning.
- Thin slices cook faster and yield a crispier texture; use a mandoline for even thickness.
- Optional: Add shredded cheese between layers for cheesy galettes.
