Ingredients
Scale
- Cooking spray
- 4 large Russet potatoes (about 2 pounds), peeled
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Fresh thyme and rosemary sprigs, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray a 12-cup muffin pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Prepare the Potatoes: Thinly slice the peeled potatoes into approximately 1/16-inch-thick slices using a mandoline or a sharp knife.
- Season the Potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Add the potato slices and toss to coat evenly.
- Assemble in the Muffin Pan: Layer the seasoned potato slices into the prepared muffin pan, filling each cup to the top. Drizzle any remaining butter/oil mixture over the top of the potatoes.
- Bake: Place the muffin pan in the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the centers are tender. Rotate the pan halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
- Cool and Serve: Let the potato galettes rest in the pan for about 5 minutes. Carefully remove them using a small spatula or knife. Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with fresh thyme and rosemary sprigs.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, rotate the pan halfway through baking to ensure even browning.
- Feel free to use any type of fresh herbs you prefer, like parsley or oregano, for a different flavor profile.
