Crisp Potato Cake Galette De Pomme De Terre Recipes

Steps:

• Pat potatoes dry if very starchy or moist. In a sauté pan large enough to fit potato slices in just two layers, spread 1 tablespoon oil and sprinkle with nutmeg and pepper to taste. Starting in center, arrange potato slices in a closely overlapping, attractive spiral. When pan is filled, repeat to make a second layer.
• Place pan over medium heat and cover. Slowly cook potatoes until well browned on underside, about 15 minutes, occasionally shaking pan gently to avoid sticking. Wipe inside of lid as needed to keep it dry.
• Press potatoes down with a flat spatula and remove from heat. Place a larger platter over pan and flip it upside down, transferring potatoes to the platter. Check pan to make sure it is clean and has enough oil to keep potatoes from sticking.
• Slide galette, raw side down, back into pan, and return to medium heat. Cover and cook until well browned, about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare a persillade by combining parsley and garlic in a small bowl. To serve, slide galette onto a serving platter, season to taste with salt, and garnish with persillade or thyme.

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
• In a bowl toss the sliced potatoes, onion, garlic and bay leaves in the olive oil. Spread them onto a baking sheet, cover (ie with foil), and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the cover/foil and bake another 10-15 minutes until the potatoes are fully cooked.
• Combine the remaining seasonings in a bowl with the grated cheese.
• Oil a 9 inch round baking dish, layer in the potatoes with the cheese mixture, saving some cheese to sprinkle on top.
• Bake for 15 minutes, watch for the cheese to be melted and bubbling. Keep an eye on the top that it doesn't burn.
