Potato galette
This potato "cake" is like a big savoury pancake of duchess potatoes (mashed potato with egg yolks), mixed with strips of fried ham, chives and spring onions.
The galette is cooked in the oven in a tin and cut into portions for serving.
This is delicious on its own or with a good green salad on the side, but can also be used to accompany many other dishes.

How to prevent butter burning during cooking
Butter, which is excellent for fixing flavours in a recipe, burns if the temperature is too high. It darkens and produces unpleasant small black specks (by the way, note that the famous recipe "raie au beurre noir", ray in black butter, is a kind of sacrilege!).132K 24.1 3 min. February 21th 2011
