La Madeleine Potato Galette Recipe
This La Madeleine Potato Galette is a crispy, golden potato dish with tender layers inside and a rich buttery flavor. It’s simple to make but looks elegant enough for holidays or dinner parties.
Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes peeled and sliced thin (about 1/8 inch)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder optional
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions optional
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese optional
- Fresh thyme or parsley for garnish optional
Instructions
- Prep Potatoes – Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Peel potatoes and slice them thinly using a mandoline or sharp knife. Pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- Make Butter Mixture – In a small bowl, combine melted butter, olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder (if using).
- Layer Potatoes – Grease a 9-inch oven-safe skillet or baking dish. Arrange potato slices in overlapping circles, brushing each layer lightly with the butter mixture and sprinkling green onions and Parmesan if desired. Continue layering until all potatoes are used.
- Bake Covered – Cover dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes to soften potatoes.
- Bake Uncovered – Remove foil and bake for another 20 minutes or until potatoes are golden and crispy on top.
- Serve – Let rest 5 minutes before slicing into wedges. Garnish with fresh thyme or parsley if desired.
