Ingredients
Scale
Potato Base
- 4 large russet potatoes, peeled and grated
Herbs and Seasoning
- 3 cloves garlic, freshly minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Fat for Cooking
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter (for greasing and mixing)
Optional
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Prep the Potatoes: Peel and grate the russet potatoes. Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible to ensure maximum crispiness.
- Mix with Herbs and Seasoning: In a large bowl, combine the dried grated potatoes with freshly minced garlic, chopped parsley, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Add grated Parmesan cheese if using, and mix thoroughly.
- Prepare the Muffin Pan: Lightly grease each muffin cup with olive oil or melted butter to help the galettes release easily and achieve a golden crust.
- Shape the Galettes: Spoon the potato mixture evenly into each muffin cup, pressing firmly to compact the potatoes and ensure they hold their shape during baking.
- Bake Until Golden: Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 25-30 minutes or until the tops and bottoms are golden and crispy. Let cool for a few minutes before removing them from the pan to maintain their structure.
Notes
- Drain grated potatoes thoroughly to avoid soggy galettes.
- Use fresh herbs for the best flavor.
- Press potato mixture firmly into muffin cups for better shape retention.
- Using a dark non-stick muffin pan yields the crispiest bottoms.
- Allow galettes to cool slightly before removing to keep them intact.
