40 minutes

Potatoes baked with balsamic vinegar are a true embodiment of Italian culinary elegance. This recipe combines the simplicity of rustic cooking with the sophistication of Mediterranean flavors. Young potatoes infused with aromatic herbs, garlic, and nutmeg acquire a rich taste, while the finishing touch—balsamic vinegar—adds a refined sweet-sour note to the dish. When baked, the potatoes become soft inside and are covered with an appetizing golden crust. This dish is perfect as a side for meat or fish and also stands alone for those who appreciate deep flavor combinations.
