Ingredients
  

  • cups shredded potatoes fresh or pre-shredded
  • 4 green onions finely chopped
  • ⅓ to ½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon turmeric optional
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Instructions
 

  • In a medium bowl, combine 1½ cups shredded potatoes with chopped green onions, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and turmeric if using.
  • Mix in ⅓ to ½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese, adjusting the amount based on your preference for cheesiness.
  • In a separate small bowl, beat 2 eggs thoroughly. The eggs act as a binding agent, so ensure they’re well-mixed.
  • Add the beaten eggs to the potato mixture and stir until everything is well combined and holds together. If the mixture seems too dry, add one more beaten egg.
  • Warm a small non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, spreading it evenly across the surface.
  • Spoon the potato mixture into the pan, spreading it evenly to form a round patty. Press gently to compact.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low, cover with a lid, and cook for 3-4 minutes until the potatoes are tender and steamed through.
  • Remove the lid and continue cooking on medium-low heat until the bottom develops a golden-brown crust, about 3-4 minutes more.
  • Using a spatula, carefully flip the galette. Add a little more oil if needed and cook the second side until golden and crispy, another 3-4 minutes.
  • Transfer to a plate and serve hot while the crust is still crispy.

Notes

Store leftover potato galettes in the refrigerator for up to 3 days in an airtight container. For best results, reheat in a skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes per side to restore crispiness, or use a toaster oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes.
