Oil spray
1.2 kg / 2.4 lb starchy potatoes (, large long ones (Note 1))
30g /2 tbsp butter (, unsalted)
2 garlic cloves (, finely minced)
1/2 cup heavy / thickened cream
1 tsp fresh thyme leaves ((or 3/4 tsp dried))
1/2 tsp salt

75g / 2.5 oz gruyere cheese (sliced into 12 squares to fit into muffin tin (or other melting cheese, Note 2))
3/4 cup gruyere cheese ((or other melting cheese), shredded)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F/180°C (all oven types).
  • Brush muffin tin with butter: Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat then use what you need to lightly brush the muffin tin holes with butter. (Remaining butter is for the cream sauce)
  • Cream sauce: Into the remaining butter, add garlic and cook for 20 seconds. Add cream and salt then bring to a simmer. Simmer for 30 seconds, then remove from stove and keep warm.
  • Slice potato: Peel potatoes. Trim base so it stands upright. Then cut into cylinder shapes that fit tge muffi tin. Cut into 2mm/ 1/10" slices using a mandolin or sharp knife.
  • Assemble stacks: Place potato slices into the muffin tin so they go halfway up the muffin tin holes. Try to match by size to make them into neat stacks.
  • Cream: Drizzle each potato stack with 1 tsp of cream mixture - use 1/2 of the mixture.
  • Cheese slice: Top with cheese slice.
  • Top with potato, cream then thyme: Top each stack with remaining potato slices so the height is about 1cm / 1/3" above the rim of the muffin tin (they sink once baked). Drizzle with remaining cream mixture and sprinkle with most of the thyme (reserve some for topping).
  • Baked 40 minutes: Cover loosely with foil and bake for 40 minutes or until potato is cooked through. A small sharp knife should go through without any resistance.
  • Top with cheese, bake 10 minutes: Remove from oven, sprinkle with shredded cheese and bake without foil for 10 minutes or until golden.
  • Garnish with thyme: Sprinkle with remaining thyme.
  • Stand 5 minutes then remove to serve. Use a tablespoon or butter knife to help scope them out. (Note 3)

BAKED MINI POTATO GALETTES RECIPE - (4.3/5)



Baked Mini Potato Galettes Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by Bexter

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 tablespoons Sensations by Compliments Pure 100% Olive Oil 45 mL
1/2 cup shallots, finely chopped 125 mL
2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes (about 4 large), peeled and thinly sliced 1 kg
1 tablespoon fresh Compliments Thyme, finely chopped 15 mL
1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper 2 mL
1 cup Sensations by Compliments Aged 5 Years Canadian Cheddar Cheese, grated 250 mL
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated 125 mL

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line an 8-cup muffin tin with squares of foil coated with cooking spray. Foil should extend over muffin cup to edges to create handles. Set aside. In a small skillet, add oil and shallots and cook over medium heat until tender but not browned, about 2 min. Remove from heat and cool completely. In a bowl, combine potato with shallots, thyme, salt and pepper until well coated. In another bowl, combine cheddar and Parmesan. Place a layer of potato slices in the bottom of each muffin cup. Sprinkle a heaping teaspoon of cheese mixture into each cup. Repeat layers (gently pressing potatoes to pack down) until all ingredients are used up and muffin cups are filled, finishing with cheese mixture on top. Bake on middle rack of oven until tops are golden and potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, about 40 min. Let rest 10 min. before lifting out with foil handles and gently pulling away the foil with the tip of a knife (watch out for steam). Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or Red Bliss are best for galettes because they hold their shape well when cooked.
  • Slice the potatoes thinly: This will help them cook evenly and quickly.
  • Season the potatoes well: Use a combination of salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When baking the galettes, make sure to leave enough space between them so that they can cook evenly.
  • Flip the galettes halfway through baking: This will help them brown evenly on both sides.
  • Serve the galettes hot: They are best enjoyed straight out of the oven.

Conclusion:

Baked mini potato galettes are an easy and delicious side dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are also a great way to use up leftover potatoes. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make these tasty galettes that are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
