A crispy, savory potato torte layered with balsamic vinegar, fresh thyme, and optional Parmesan for a golden finish.

Ingredients

2 lbs potatoes, thinly sliced (Yukon Gold or Russet recommended)

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme)

Salt and pepper to taste

Grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for a cheesy, crispy topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a round baking dish with olive oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped thyme, salt, and pepper.
  3. Arrange half of the sliced potatoes in the prepared baking dish, overlapping slightly. Drizzle half of the balsamic-thyme mixture evenly over the top.
  4. Add the remaining potato slices, creating another layer. Pour the rest of the balsamic glaze over the top. Press the layers gently to pack them in.
  5. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 45 minutes.
  6. After 45 minutes, remove the foil. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top, if desired. Return the torte to the oven and bake uncovered for an additional 15-20 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and crispy.
  7. Let the torte cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve and enjoy the crispy, tangy goodness!

Notes

  • Herb variations: Swap thyme for rosemary or oregano for a different flavor profile.
  • For a spicy kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the balsamic glaze.
  • For a cheesy twist, try mozzarella or Gruyère instead of Parmesan.
  • To make it vegan, skip the Parmesan or use a dairy-free alternative.
