Potato Galette

A crisp, golden potato galette layered with butter, duck fat and thyme—pressed and cooked slowly for a perfectly caramelised exterior and soft, buttery centre.

INGREDIENTS

     +    

5 medium potatoes, peeled and very thinly sliced on a mandolin

50g duck fat, melted

50g butter

50g vegetable oil

12g Maldon salt

4g finely crushed black pepper

Picked thyme leaves

Method

     +    

Slice the potatoes very thinly on a mandolin, then dry thoroughly on kitchen paper.

Place the potatoes into a bowl and mix with the melted duck fat, salt, pepper and thyme (do not add the oil at this stage).

Heat the vegetable oil in the base of a heavy pan or mould.

Layer the seasoned potatoes evenly into the pan, adding a light pinch of seasoning between layers.

Dot the butter evenly over the top.

Cook on a high heat for 3–4 minutes, pressing down firmly as it cooks until the edges begin to caramelise.

Transfer to a 200°C oven and cook for 20–25 minutes, continuing to press gently during cooking to compact the layers.

To serve, place a plate over the pan and carefully turn out the galette so it releases cleanly onto the plate.
