Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease an ovenproof skillet or baking dish with olive oil.
  2. Peel and slice the potatoes into 1/8 inch thick rounds using a mandoline or sharp knife.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, and black pepper.
  4. Layer the potato slices in the dish, brushing each layer with the balsamic mixture and sprinkling cheese if desired.
