Giant Straw Potato Galette

Instructions

1. 1

   Using a mandoline, cut the potatoes into matchstick-sized pieces. Immediately dry the potatoes with a cloth towel to remove excess starch.

2. 2

   Film a large frying pan with a 1/16-inch layer of clarified butter and heat until very hot but not browning.

3. 3

   Add the potatoes, making a layer about 3/8-inch thick. Season with salt and pepper. Add 2 to 3 more spoonfuls of butter.

4. 4

   Press down firmly with a spatula so the potatoes flatten as they cook. Frequently press them down to encourage even browning.

5. 5

   Cook until the bottom is deeply golden, about 10 to 12 minutes. Carefully flip and cook the other side for another 8 to 10 minutes.

6. 6

   Slide onto a cutting board, season with salt, and cut into wedges to serve.
