  • Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large potatoes, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Optional: Parmesan cheese for topping

Instructions

  1. Peel and thinly slice the potatoes using a mandoline or vegetable spiralizer for even thickness.
  2. In a small bowl, mix balsamic vinegar, olive oil, thyme, salt, and pepper. Toss the sliced potatoes in this marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Let marinate for 10 minutes.
  3. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Layer the marinated potatoes in a baking dish or tart pan, overlapping slightly to form a tight layer. Pour remaining marinade over the top.
  4. Bake for 45-50 minutes until the edges are golden and crispy. For extra crispiness, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes. Optionally, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese before serving.

Notes

  • Use a mandoline or spiralizer for uniform, thin slices.
  • Ensure the oven is fully preheated before baking to achieve optimal crispiness.
  • Avoid overcrowding layers to maintain a crispy texture.
  • Broil at the end to crisp up the top layer further.
