Galette de Pommes de Terre

Galette de Pommes de Terre is a traditional French potato galette that showcases the delightful crispiness of potatoes, enhanced with herbs and seasonings. This rustic dish makes a perfect vegetarian side, offering a comforting taste of France in every bite.

Ingredients

• Potatoes - 400 grams (about 2 medium potatoes)
• Onion - 1 small, finely chopped
• Garlic - 1 clove, minced
• Fresh thyme - 1 teaspoon, chopped (or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme)
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• All-purpose flour - 2 tablespoons
• Butter - 1 tablespoon (for cooking)

Steps

1. Peel and grate the potatoes using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, chopped onion, minced garlic, thyme, salt, black pepper, and flour. Mix until well combined.
3. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
4. Once the oil is hot, add the potato mixture to the skillet, pressing it down to form a circular patty about 1.5 cm thick. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the bottom is golden brown.
5. Carefully flip the galette using a large plate or spatula, adding the remaining olive oil if necessary. Cook for another 5-7 minutes until the second side is also golden brown.
6. Once cooked, remove the galette from the skillet and let it cool for a minute before slicing into wedges. Serve warm.
