CRISPY POTATO GALETTE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F. Melt butter in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium. Add oil and garlic. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 1 minute. Remove from heat. Transfer to a large bowl, reserving 2 tablespoons mixture in skillet. Add potatoes, shallots, salt, and pepper; toss to coat.
• Starting in center of skillet, arrange potato and shallot slices in a circular pattern, slightly overlapping slices, until bottom of skillet is covered. Repeat process using remaining potato and shallot. Pour any remaining butter mixture in bowl over potato mixture. Press down firmly in skillet. Place skillet over high heat. Cook, undisturbed, until mixture begins to sizzle, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat.

POTATO-MUSHROOM GALETTES

Steps:

• Warm the canola oil and butter in large saute pan over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook slowly, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes, or until the mushrooms release their juices. Continue cooking until all their moisture evaporates.
• Add the shallots and cook for 3 minutes. Strip the leaves from the thyme sprigs and add to the pan; discard the stems. Season with the salt and pepper. Remove from heat.
• Place the potatoes in a large bowl. Drizzle with the olive oil and toss until well coated.
• Place 2 medium nonstick saute pans over medium heat. Place 1 potato slice in the center of each pan. Use one-quarter of the potatoes per pan, carefully form circles of slightly overlapping potato slices around the center slices, letting them fall slightly over the edge of the pan. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 4 minutes. If any gaps form between the slices, patch with slices cut to fit the gap.
• Place 1/4 of the mushroom mixture in the center of each galette and evenly spread it out to cover the potatoes. As the potatoes become soft and flexible, begin folding them inward so that they slightly enclose the mushrooms and form a perfect disk-shaped galette. Cook for 25 minutes, turning occasionally so that the potatoes do not burn or become to brown.
• Serve once the galette is crisp and holds its shape, warm or at room temperature.

POTATO GALETTE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Heat clarified butter in a 10 1/2-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat until very hot, but not smoking. Place a sprig of thyme in center of skillet. Arrange potatoes in an overlapping spiral to fill pan (be careful, because the fat may spatter). Season with salt and pepper. Brush the bottom of a medium saute pan with clarified butter, and place over potatoes to weigh them down. Cook until golden brown, about 8 minutes.
• Carefully pour off excess butter, if there is any, and reserve. Turn galette out onto a baking sheet. Place another sprig of thyme in center of skillet. Using two spatulas, carefully return galette to skillet, browned side up. Season with salt and pepper. Cover with saute pan; transfer to oven, and bake until second side is brown and potatoes are cooked through, 20 to 30 minutes more. Remove top saute pan 5 minutes before removing skillet from oven. Carefully slide galette onto cutting board. Cut into wedges, and serve immediately.
