Potato Galette is a simplified Japanese home-cooking dish based on the French regional dish "galette," which involves frying thinly sliced or shredded potatoes into a circular shape. In this recipe, mixing shredded potato with shredded mozzarella cheese (for pizza) results in a rich cheesy flavor, a crispy exterior, and a fluffy interior.
Eat it as is, with ketchup, or drizzle with honey for a sweet and salty treat! The options are endless! It only takes 10 minutes to make, yet is amazingly delicious. Try it as a side dish with dinner or for snacktime!
