A delicious and elegant Potato Torte made with thinly sliced Yukon Gold potatoes layered with Parmesan cheese and flavored with fresh thyme, balsamic vinegar, and olive oil, baked until golden and crispy. Perfect as a hearty side dish or a vegetarian main course.

Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 2 1/2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced

Seasoning and Flavor

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven and prepare potatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large bowl, toss the thinly sliced potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, fresh thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
  2. Layer the potatoes: Grease a 9-inch pan with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Arrange the potato slices in layers in the pan, sprinkling Parmesan cheese between each layer and also on top for a cheesy crust.
  3. Bake covered: Cover the pan with foil and bake the layered potatoes for 35 minutes to allow them to steam and soften.
  4. Bake uncovered: Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 25 to 30 minutes until the top is golden brown and crispy.
  5. Rest and serve: Let the Potato Torte rest for 5 minutes after baking to set before slicing into wedges and serving warm.

Notes

  • Use Yukon Gold potatoes for their creamy texture and ability to hold shape when baked.
  • Thin slices ensure even cooking and a tender texture.
  • Resting before serving helps the torte hold together for cleaner slices.
  • Parmesan cheese adds a savory, crispy top layer, but you can use other cheeses like Gruyère for a different flavor.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste, especially salt and pepper.
