Ingredients

• 4 medium Yukon Gold potatoes
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Peel the Yukon Gold potatoes and slice them very thinly using a mandoline or a sharp knife. Aim for about 1/8-inch thick slices.

Step 3

Melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the olive oil and finely minced garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, but do not let the garlic brown. Remove from heat and stir in the thyme leaves.

Step 4

Brush the bottom of a 10-inch oven-safe skillet or cast-iron pan with a small amount of the garlic-butter mixture.

Step 5

Arrange the potato slices in overlapping concentric circles in the skillet, starting from the center and working outward. Continue layering the potatoes in this pattern until all slices are used.

Step 6

Brush each layer of potatoes generously with the garlic-butter mixture. Season with salt and black pepper as you go.

Step 7

Once all the potatoes are layered, place the skillet over medium heat on the stovetop. Cook for 8-10 minutes to crisp the bottom before transferring it to the oven.

Step 8

Dot the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter around the edges of the skillet for extra richness.

Step 9

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden and crispy, and the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 10

Remove the skillet from the oven and allow the galette to cool for 5-10 minutes. Carefully invert it onto a serving platter or cutting board.

Step 11

Slice into wedges and serve immediately. Enjoy the beautifully crispy layers of potatoes!
