Crispy, pan-fried potato pancakes originating from the Liège region of Belgium. These galettes are made with grated raw potatoes, onions, and sometimes a touch of flour or egg, pan-fried until golden brown and delicious.
🧂 Ingrédients
- 800 g Potatoes(starchy variety, peeled)
- 1 medium Onion(finely chopped)

- 2 tbsp All-purpose flour
- 1 tsp Salt

👨🍳 Instructions

Grate the peeled potatoes using the large holes of a box grater. Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. This is a crucial step for crispy galettes.

In a medium bowl, combine the squeezed grated potatoes, finely chopped onion, egg, flour, salt, and pepper. Mix well until everything is evenly distributed.
💡 Conseils de pro: Don't overmix, just combine. - 3
Heat 1-2 tablespoons of oil or butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, spoon about 1/4 cup of the potato mixture into the skillet for each galette, flattening them slightly with the back of the spoon.
💡 Conseils de pro: Ensure the pan is hot before adding the mixture for a good sear. - 4
Cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Add more oil or butter as needed for subsequent batches. You may need to cook in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
