Description

Savory golden potato torte with balsamic and thyme creates a luxurious symphony of rustic Italian flavors. Delicate layers of crisp potatoes and aromatic herbs promise an elegant culinary experience you’ll crave again and again.


Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 5 large russet potatoes
  • 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Herbs and Seasonings:

  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Liquid and Oil:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

Garnish:

  • Fresh thyme sprigs

Instructions

  1. Prepare the oven at 375°F (190°C) and coat a 9-inch round baking dish with olive oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Meticulously arrange potato slices in a circular pattern, ensuring each slice slightly overlaps the previous one for a uniform, elegant presentation.
  3. Craft a flavor-enhancing blend by whisking together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper in a small mixing bowl.
  4. Delicately drizzle the aromatic balsamic mixture across the layered potatoes, ensuring even distribution of herbs and seasoning.
  5. Generously dust the potato surface with a layer of Parmesan cheese, creating a potential crispy and golden crust.
  6. Shield the dish with aluminum foil and roast in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, allowing the potatoes to become tender and absorb the infused flavors.
  7. Uncover the torte and continue baking for an additional 20 minutes until the edges turn a beautiful golden brown and the surface develops a crisp texture.
  8. Elevate the presentation by adorning the finished torte with fresh thyme sprigs, adding a vibrant and aromatic final touch before serving.

Notes

  • Choose waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or red potatoes for best texture and even cooking.
  • Slice potatoes uniformly thin using a mandoline for consistent golden layers.
  • Experiment with fresh rosemary or oregano as alternative herbs to thyme for varied flavor profiles.
  • For a dairy-free version, replace Parmesan with nutritional yeast or omit cheese completely.
