Ingredients
  

For the Galette
  • 7-8 medium Yukon Gold potatoes provides a buttery flavor and firm texture
  • 3 tbsp butter melted for better mixing
  • 2 tbsp olive oil for pre-heating the skillet
  • 1.25 cups Gruyère cheese cheddar is a great substitute
  • Parmigiano Reggiano optional, adds nutty depth
  • seasoned salt adjust to taste
  • black pepper freshly ground offers best flavor
For Layering

Equipment

  • 8-inch cast iron skillet
  • mandolin slicer
  • Large Bowl

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by thinly slicing the Yukon Gold potatoes to about 1/8 inch thickness using a mandolin slicer.
  2. Heat the cast iron skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil, letting it shimmer for about 2-3 minutes.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the sliced potatoes with 3 tablespoons of melted butter, seasoned salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Toss until coated.
  4. Layer potato slices in the preheated skillet, alternating with Gruyère cheese, finishing with a layer of potatoes on top.
  5. Cover layers with parchment paper and compress using a heavy skillet or pot.
  6. Cook on the stovetop for about 7-8 minutes, looking for a crispy golden brown bottom.
  7. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake for approximately 55 minutes until nicely golden brown.
  8. Let cool slightly, flip onto a cutting board, and cut into triangles before serving.
