Notes

Required Kitchen Tools

When preparing the La Madeleine Potato Galette, having the right kitchen tools will make the process smooth and effortless. Here’s what I recommend:
  1. Mandoline or Sharp Knife – For evenly thin potato slices, which is the key to a perfectly layered galette.
  2. Mixing Bowl – To toss the potato slices in the butter and seasoning mixture.
  3. Microwave-Safe Bowl or Small Saucepan – For melting butter quickly and easily.
  4. 9-inch Pie Dish or Cast-Iron Skillet – Essential for baking the galette and achieving crispy golden edges.
  5. Foil – To cover the dish during the first half of baking, ensuring the potatoes cook evenly.
  6. Oven Mitts – Always handy when handling hot dishes.
Having these tools ready not only makes cooking easier but also helps your potato galette come out perfectly every time.
