Ingredients

Scale
  • 2pounds medium unpeeled Yukon Gold potatoes (scrubbed and sliced about ⅛-inch thick for uniform texture)
  • 1/4 cupgrated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespooncornstarch (helps hold layers together)
  • 1 teaspoonsalt
  • 1/4 teaspoonpepper
  • 3 tablespoonsextra-virgin olive oil
  • 3 tablespoonsunsalted butter, melted (divided use)
  • 1/2 cupfinely chopped sweet onion (adds mild sweetness)
  • 3large cloves garlic, minced (garlicky flavor base)
  • 1 tablespoonfresh thyme, chopped (plus extra for garnish)
  • 3/4 teaspoonfresh rosemary, chopped (plus extra for garnish)
  • 3/4 teaspoonlemon zest (adds a fresh, bright note)

Instructions

  1. Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it’s ready when your galette is assembled. Slice the Yukon Gold potatoes into thin rounds, about ⅛-inch thick. This thickness is vital for even cooking and crispiness. Arrange the potato slices in a single layer on paper towels and pat them down to eliminate excess moisture.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, cornstarch, salt, and pepper. Ensure it is mixed thoroughly, as you’ll be using this to layer within the galette.
  3. Heat your cast-iron skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of melted butter. Once melted, add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for about 2–3 minutes until softened but not browned. Stir in the fresh thyme, rosemary, and lemon zest, allowing the flavors to meld. Transfer this mixture to a heatproof bowl.
  4. Grease the skillet with the remaining melted butter. Begin layering your galette with a quarter of the potato slices in concentric circles, overlapping each slice. Spoon one-third of the garlic-onion mixture and a third of the Parmesan mixture over this layer. Repeat twice more and top with a final layer of potatoes. Brush with remaining melted butter.
  5. Set the skillet over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, then cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Carefully press down on the foil, remove it, and bake uncovered for another 20-30 minutes until the potatoes are tender and golden brown.
  6. Once baked, carefully loosen the edges with a spatula and invert the galette onto a serving platter. Garnish with fresh thyme and rosemary before serving.

Notes

Ensure that your potato slices are uniform for even cooking. Don’t skip the pressing step; it ensures that the galette holds its shape when serving.
