A thin layer of potatoes over cheese completely transforms this pizza. We have also had excellent results with using a prepared gluten free pizza base, available in health food orientated supermarkets. This is a crowd pleaser, gluten free or not. Pizza can be served warm or at room temperature. This also makes a great prepare ahead brunch dish.

potato pizza

Author Mary Griffiths

Ingredients

• Pizza dough of choice or from our pizza dough/bread recipe
• 1 cup of grated cheese or less depending on pizza base size. We have used a mix of medium or old cheddar and mozzarella.
• 1/2 small garlic clove minced
• 1 potato very thinly sliced preferably with a mandolin.
• Chopped fresh rosemary or thyme or both around 1/2 teaspoon
• Olive oil
• Optional: very thinly sliced red onion pizza stone.

Instructions

• Preheat oven. We cook this pizza on a very hot preheated pizza stone, in a 500F oven. A baking sheet can be used at a lower temperature if you don't have a pizza stone.
• Slice potatoes directly into cold water and let sit for a minimum of 10 minutes to remove starch.
• Place on a plate with damp paper towel and microwave for 2-3 minutes.
• Spread garlic over pizza base.
• Top with cheese.
• Layer cooked, sliced potatoes over the cheese and brush with olive oil.
• Sprinkle with herbs.
• Place a few slices of red onion if desired.
• Season and cook until potatoes are golden and base is cooked
