  • Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes
  • Yield: 4-6 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large russet potatoes, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons fresh thyme, chopped
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Optional: grated Parmesan cheese or fresh herbs for garnish

Instructions

  1. Begin by peeling and thinly slicing the potatoes using a high-quality vegetable slicer or mandoline for perfect, uniform slices. Rinse the slices in cold water and pat dry.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar and chopped thyme to create the glaze. Set aside.
  3. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a cake or springform pan.
  4. Layer the potato slices in a circular pattern inside the prepared pan, overlapping slightly. Brush each layer with the balsamic-thyme mixture and season with salt and pepper. Repeat until the pan is filled, ending with a layer of potatoes topped with the remaining glaze.
  5. Bake in the oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy. Optionally, broil for 2-3 minutes for extra crispiness.
  6. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before unmolding. Garnish with Parmesan or herbs if desired. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Ensure thin and even slices for consistent baking and crispiness.
  • Use a springform pan for easy removal and presentation.
  • For added flavor, sprinkle with grated Parmesan or fresh herbs before serving.
