Ingredients

1 pound small russet potatoes
3 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, divided
3 tablespoon freshly grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese, divided
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
2 cup diced fresh ripe tomato
2/3 cup small fresh mozzarella pearls
2 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1/4 cup snipped fresh basil

Directions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with foil and lightly oil or spray with olive oil cooking spray.
Slice potatoes 1/4-inch thick and discard small, rounded ends. Place in a medium bowl with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and toss well to coat. Add cheese, salt, and red pepper and toss again to coat as evenly as possible. Place in a single layer on baking sheet and cook for 25 minutes.
While potatoes are cooking, stir together remaining oil, tomatoes, mozzarella, balsamic, and garlic in a medium bowl. Top potatoes with equal amounts of tomato mixture and bake for 5 minutes more or until cheese is just starting to melt; sprinkle with basil. Serve warm or at room temperature.
