Ingredients

• 800 grams Waxy potatoes (Yukon Gold or similar)
• 30 grams Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic (finely minced)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
• 250 grams Cantal cheese (or substitute with Gruyère or a mild cheddar if unavailable)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and slice them into thin, uniform rounds (approximately 3-4 mm thick). Rinse the slices in cold water to remove excess starch, then pat them dry with a kitchen towel.

Step 2

Grate the Cantal cheese and set aside in a bowl.

Step 3

In a large non-stick or cast-iron skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter melts and begins to foam.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Be careful not to let it burn.

Step 5

Add the potato slices in an even layer. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Cook the potatoes over medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden and starting to soften.

Step 6

Once the potatoes are lightly golden, reduce the heat to low and flatten them gently with a spatula to create a semi-layered effect.

Step 7

Sprinkle the grated Cantal cheese evenly over the potatoes. Cover the skillet with a lid and allow the cheese to melt for about 5-8 minutes, creating a gooey, cheesy layer.

Step 8

Using a spatula, gently fold or flip portions of the potato and cheese mixture to ensure it melds together. Continue cooking for another 5 minutes until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.

Step 9

Transfer the truffade to a serving dish, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley, and serve immediately while hot and gooey.
