Ingredients
Baking Potato
1 lb (Cut very thin)
Clarified Butter or Olive Oil
1/4 cup (For coating the potatoes)
Parmesan Cheese
1/4 cup (Grated)
Gruyere Cheese
2 ounces (Shredded)
Fresh Goat Cheese
2 ounces (Crumble)
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
2
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the thinly sliced baking potatoes with the clarified butter or olive oil and Parmesan cheese. Toss gently to ensure all the potato slices are evenly coated.
3
In a 9-inch ovenproof skillet, arrange half of the coated potato slices in a circular pattern, overlapping them slightly to create a beautiful flower design.
4
Cook the potato layer over medium heat for about 5 minutes, or until the edges begin to brown and the potatoes start to stick together. This step helps bind the potatoes before adding the cheese.
5
Sprinkle the shredded Gruyere cheese and fresh goat cheese evenly over the first layer of potatoes.
6
Top with the remaining potato slices, arranging them in the same flower pattern as the first layer.
7
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes.
8
After 10 minutes, carefully flip the galette using a wide spatula or by inverting it onto a plate and then sliding it back into the skillet. Cook over medium heat for an additional 5 minutes until the bottom is golden and crispy.
9
Return the skillet to the oven for 5 more minutes to ensure the top is perfectly melted and golden.
10
Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, then cut into 4 generous servings. Serve warm and enjoy!
