Equipment

  • peeler
  • knife
  • Baking dish

Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoons of Wholesome Unsalted Butter the golden enricher
  • 1/4 Cup of Aged Parmesan Cheese the artisanal magic
  • 2 Large Potatoes the earth's treasures
  • 1/8 Teaspoon of Onion Powder the aromatic whisper
  • 1/8 Teaspoon of Bold Black Pepper
  • 1/8 Teaspoon of Garlic Powder the flavorful essence
  • 1/4 Teaspoon of Crystalline Salt

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Peel and thinly slice the large potatoes. You can use a mandoline slicer for uniform slices.
  • In a small saucepan or microwave, melt the unsalted butter until it's in a liquid state.
  • Add the onion powder, black pepper, and garlic powder to the melted butter. Stir well to combine the seasonings.
  • Place the potato slices in a large bowl. Pour the seasoned melted butter over the potato slices, ensuring each slice is well-coated.
  • Arrange the coated potato slices in a circular pattern, slightly overlapping, on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Generously sprinkle aged Parmesan cheese over the arranged potato slices, ensuring even coverage.
  • Lightly sprinkle crystalline salt over the galette for a balanced flavor.
  • Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 25-30 minutes or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy around the edges.
  • Once baked, remove the potato galette from the oven and let it cool slightly. Serve it warm, allowing the layers of flavor to shine.
  • Garnish with additional Parmesan cheese and fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, try adding a few cloves of garlic to the dish.
  • For a crispy top, sprinkle a few tablespoons of breadcrumbs over the cheese before baking.
  • If you don’t have a 9-inch baking dish, a 9x13-inch dish will work just as well.
  • If you’re short on time, you can use pre-shredded cheese instead of grating your own.
  • For a vegetarian version, try using a vegan cheese.
