How to Make Crispy Balsamic-Thyme Potato Torte
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
  2. Peel and thinly slice the potatoes to about ⅛ inch thick.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, thyme, salt, and black pepper.
  4. Add the sliced potatoes to the bowl and gently toss them in the marinade.
  5. Carefully arrange the potato slices in an overlapping pattern within the greased pan.
  6. If using cheese, sprinkle a handful of shredded mozzarella between layers.
  7. Cover the pan with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes.
  8. After 45 minutes, remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 30 minutes.
  9. Once baked, let the torte cool for about 15 minutes.
  10. Gently run a knife along the edges and invert onto a serving plate.
