Potato Galette

This recipe for a classic potato galette uses aluminum foil in the air fryer, which not only makes it easy to lift the potatoes into and out of the air fryer, but also helps prevent over-browning the potatoes on top.  While it’s not glamorous, it has a rustic charm and is very practical.

Potato Galette

  • Prep Time: 25 m
  • Cook Time: 35 m
  • Total Time: 1 h
  • Servings:
    4

Ingredients

  • 1 pound Yukon gold potatoes
  • ¼ cup butter melted
  • ½ shallot minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 ounces grated Gruyère cheese
  • sprigs of fresh thyme

Instructions

  1. Use a mandolin slicer to thinly slice the potatoes. Place the potato slices in a large bowl and add the melted butter, shallot, fresh thyme, salt and pepper. Toss to coat well.
  2. Place a 12-inch long piece of aluminum foil on the counter top. Arrange one third of the potatoes on the foil in a 7-inch circle overlapping each other. Make sure the circle is the same size or smaller than the air fryer basket. Sprinkle one third of the cheese over the potatoes. Repeat with 2 more layers of potato slices and cheese.
  3. Pre-heat the air fryer to 380°F.
  4. Lower the foil packet into the air fryer basket and fold the foil loosely over the potatoes. Air-fry at 380ºF for 30 minutes. Reduce the temperature of the air fryer to 340°F. Open the aluminum foil and poke some holes in the bottom of the foil for the fat to drain away. Air-fry for an additional 5 minutes to brown the top layer of the potatoes.
  5. Garnish with sprigs of fresh thyme.

    1. You can bake the galette in the oven, uncovered, in an oven-proof skillet or cake pan at 400°F for about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Be sure to grease the bottom of the pan first.

  1. Can you do this in the oven? If so, what temp, how long, cover with the foil, place in a pan? Looks yummy!
