This crispy balsamic-thyme potato torte is a rustic, elegant side dish made with layers of thinly sliced potatoes, balsamic vinegar, garlic, and thyme. Golden and crisp on top, it’s flavorful and easy to prepare for holidays or weeknight meals.

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs potatoes, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a round baking dish.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  3. Layer half of the potatoes in the dish, overlapping slightly. Drizzle with half of the balsamic mixture.
  4. Repeat with remaining potatoes and drizzle the rest of the mixture on top.
  5. Cover tightly with foil and bake for 45 minutes.
  6. Remove foil, sprinkle with Parmesan (if using), and bake uncovered for another 15–20 minutes until golden and crisp.
  7. Let cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Add thinly sliced red onions between layers for more flavor.
  • Swap balsamic with white wine or add a bit of cream for a richer version.
  • Try rosemary or sage instead of thyme for a flavor variation.
  • For a heartier dish, add cooked bacon or shredded gruyère cheese.
  • Use a mandoline for even potato slices and consistent cooking.
