Method

To make the potato galettes, place the potatoes in a large pan of salted, cold water. Cover and bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender to the point of a sharp knife. Drain, return to the pan and shake over low heat for 1-2 minutes to remove excess moisture. Mash or push through a fine sieve, season wit
