Line a sheet pan with parchment paper, or spray with cooking spray. Place 3-inch diameter ring mold on baking sheet and press 1/3 cup potato mixture into mold, pressing to make a flat cake. Lift off mold and turn galette over with spatula. Repeat process to make a total of 24 galettes. Chill in refrigerator before using.
