Method:
Boil potatoes in their skins until just cooked, the potatoes need to be undercooked a little. Peel and refrigerate overnight. Grate potatoes with a hand grater on the coarsest grate. Mix butter with oil and add a little to a frying pan, When hot add about 1/2 cup grated potato, spread out in pan and sauté over moderate heat for about four to five minutes until bottom has crusted and browned. Press potatoes together constantly. Season with salt and pepper. Turn and continue cooking until brown. Continue with the rest of potatoes. Sprinkle with chives. Makes about eight galettes
