Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes and Base Ingredients

  • 3 large Russet Potatoes
  • 3 cloves Fresh Garlic, finely minced
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil (plus extra for greasing)
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper

Herbs

  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley, chopped (or Thyme or Rosemary)

Optional Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese, grated (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prep the Potatoes: Peel and grate the russet potatoes using a box grater or food processor. Rinse the grated potatoes under cold water to remove excess starch, then squeeze out as much moisture as possible using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. This step is crucial for achieving crispy galettes.
  2. Mix the Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes with minced garlic, chopped fresh herbs, olive oil, salt, and pepper. If using Parmesan cheese, stir it in now. Mix thoroughly to ensure every bite is flavorful.
  3. Prepare the Muffin Pan: Lightly grease each muffin cup with olive oil or non-stick spray. Using a spoon or your hands, press the potato mixture firmly and evenly into each muffin cup, compressing the potatoes so they hold their shape well during baking.
  4. Bake Until Golden: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and place the muffin pan inside. Bake for 25-30 minutes. Halfway through baking, run a knife around the edges of each galette to loosen them for easy removal later. Continue baking until edges are golden brown and crispy.
  5. Serve Warm: Remove the muffin pan from the oven and carefully invert it onto a cooling rack or plate to release the galettes. Serve immediately while crispy, or keep warm in a low oven until ready to eat.

Notes

  • Thoroughly squeeze out moisture from grated potatoes to prevent soggy galettes.
  • Use a light hand with oil to avoid greasy galettes. Lightly coat muffin cups and mixture.
  • Press the potato mixture firmly into muffin cups to help galettes hold together after baking.
  • Use fresh herbs rather than dried for vibrant flavor.
  • Rotate the muffin pan halfway through baking for even browning.
