Ingredients

• 4 large Yukon Gold potatoes
• 4 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 large Garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary leaves
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Peel the Yukon Gold potatoes and slice them thinly (approximately 1/8 inch thick) using a mandoline or sharp knife. Rinse the slices in cold water to remove excess starch, then pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic cloves, fresh thyme leaves, fresh rosemary leaves, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to create a flavorful oil mixture.

Step 4

Lightly grease a 10-inch oven-safe skillet or nonstick tart pan with a small amount of the oil mixture.

Step 5

Begin layering the potato slices in the skillet, forming concentric circles. Slightly overlap each slice to create a shingled effect. Repeat until you've used all the potato slices, pressing down lightly on the layers as you go.

Step 6

Brush each layer generously with the garlic and herb oil mixture. If desired, sprinkle a little Parmesan cheese between some of the layers for added flavor.

Step 7

Once all the potatoes are layered, brush the top layer with any remaining oil mixture and ensure the edges are well coated.

Step 8

Place the skillet on the stovetop over medium heat for 5 minutes to help the bottom layer crisp up before transferring it to the oven.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a knife and the edges are golden and crispy.

Step 10

Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and allow the galette to cool for 5 minutes. Using a spatula, gently release the edges of the galette from the pan.

Step 11

Invert the galette onto a serving plate or cutting board. If desired, sprinkle with additional fresh herbs or Parmesan cheese for garnish.

Step 12

Slice into wedges, serve warm, and enjoy this rustic dish as a side or main course.
