Delicious crispy balsamic-thyme potato cake recipe with detailed instructions and nutritional information.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced: 2 pounds
  • Olive oil: 1/4 cup
  • Balsamic vinegar: 2 tablespoons
  • Fresh thyme leaves: 2 tablespoons
  • Garlic, minced: 2 cloves
  • Salt: 1 teaspoon
  • Black pepper: 1/2 teaspoon
  • Grated Parmesan cheese: 1/4 cup

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. Step 2: In a large bowl, toss the potato slices with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, thyme, garlic, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Step 3: Arrange a layer of potato slices in the prepared pan, overlapping them slightly. Sprinkle with a little Parmesan cheese. Repeat layering potatoes and cheese until all potatoes are used.
  4. Step 4: Press down firmly on the potato layers to compact them.
  5. Step 5: Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden brown and crispy.
  6. Step 6: Let the potato cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before releasing the springform and slicing to serve.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For best results, reheat slices in a skillet with a little olive oil to re-crisp the edges.
  • Serve warm as a savory side dish with roasted chicken or grilled vegetables.
  • Don't skip pressing down firmly – this helps the potato cake hold its shape and creates more crispy surface area.
