Ingredients
  

  • 1 ball of pizza dough (enough for one 12-inch pizza)
  • 2 medium Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and very thinly sliced

  • 2 tbsp grated Parmigiano-Reggiano or Pecorino Romano (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat & Prep Dough
    Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven.
    Roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch round on a floured surface, then transfer it to a parchment-lined baking sheet or pizza peel.

  • Assemble Pizza
    Layer the seasoned potato slices over the dough, slightly overlapping to cover the entire surface.
    Drizzle with a little extra olive oil and, if desired, sprinkle grated Parmigiano-Reggiano or Pecorino Romano on top.
  • Bake
    Bake the pizza for 12–15 minutes until the crust is golden brown and crisp, and the potatoes are tender with slightly crisped edges.
  • Finish & Serve
    Let the pizza rest for 2 minutes after baking, then slice and serve hot. Enjoy as a main dish or a flavorful appetizer!
