How to Make Hash Browns La Franaise Galette

Peel and grate 2 lbs russet potatoes.
Place the grated potatoes in a large bowl and add 1 teaspoon of salt. Gently squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth.
Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large (12-inch) oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
Add 1/2 cup finely chopped yellow onion and 1/4 cup diced pancetta. Sauté for 5-6 minutes, until onions are softened.
Add the grated potatoes to the skillet. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Stir gently to combine. Melt 2 more tablespoons of butter and pour evenly over potatoes.
Using a spatula, press the potatoes firmly into a compact galette (large hash brown).
Cook for 10 minutes, adding small pats of butter around the edges and tilting the pan to ensure even browning.
Carefully invert the galette onto a large plate. Slide back into the skillet, browned side up.
Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the pan. Cook for another 7-8 minutes, until golden brown and crispy.
While the galette cooks, prepare the mushroom topping:
In a separate skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat.
Add 1 cup sliced cremini mushrooms and sauté for 3-5 minutes, until tender-crisp.
Season with salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley.
Once the galette is golden brown, spoon the mushroom mixture evenly over the top.
Clarify 4 tablespoons of butter (optional): Melt butter over low heat, let cool, and skim off the clear butter, discarding the milky residue. Drizzle clarified butter over the galette for extra richness.
