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.

- 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.
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
