Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and get a large bowl ready. Thinly slice the Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes. Toss the sliced potatoes in melted unsalted butter, minced garlic, kosher salt, and black pepper until well coated.
  2. Take a 10-inch cast-iron skillet and arrange the potato slices in concentric circles. Sprinkle grated Parmigiano Reggiano over each layer.
  3. Place your assembled potato galette in the preheated oven and bake for 50–60 minutes until golden brown and crisp.
  4. While the potato galette bakes, mix crème fraîche, fresh dill, and lemon juice in a small bowl. Chill while the galette finishes baking.
  5. Once baked, carefully run a spatula around the edges and invert the galette onto a large plate.
  6. Spread the chilled crème fraîche mixture evenly over your potato galette, arrange smoked salmon slices on top, and garnish with red onion, capers, and chives.
