INSTRUCTIONS
Wash potatoes, and pat dry. Place 1-1/2 cups kosher salt in a 9-inch square baking pan; add potatoes, and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour or until tender. While the potatoes bake, combine tomato and next 7 ingredients in a large bowl; toss well, and set aside. Using a 4-1/2-inch round cookie cutter, cut 1 circle from each flour tortilla. Spread about 2-1/2 tablespoons cheese over each tortilla circle; set aside. Place 1-1/2 cups balsamic vinegar in a medium nonaluminum saucepan, and cook over high heat for 15 minutes or until reduced to 6 tablespoons. Set balsamic syrup aside. Remove baked potatoes from oven; discard salt. Thinly slice potatoes crosswise; overlap potato slices around edge of each tortilla circle. Sprinkle chives and next 4 ingredients evenly over tarts; top each with olives. Place a baking sheet in a 400 degree oven for 10 minutes. Remove from oven; immediately arrange tarts on baking sheet. Bake at 400 degrees for 5 minutes. Yield: 6 servings.
