Ingredients
- 1 batch basic pizza dough
- 2 to 3 large waxy potatoes (cut into as thin slices as possible ( or 8-10 small ones))
- 1 small onion (thinly sliced)
- 1 cup + 2 tbsp sour cream ((250g))
- 1+2/3 cup Gruyere cheese ((160g) Fontina, Comte or any good melting cheese will also work.)
- 4 sprigs of thyme
- Salt and pepper (to season)
- Olive oil (to drizzle)
- Flour (for dusting)
- Semolina flour (polenta or regular flour, for dusting)
Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to the highest temperature possible. First, make the cheesy base by adding the sour cream and grated gruyere cheese in a bowl and mix with a small pinch of pepper until combined.
- 2
Sprinkle polenta, semolina flour or regular flour on two large baking trays so the dough doesn't stick, roll out half of the pizza dough and place it on the baking tray.

Spread half of the cheesy mixture on the pizza base and top with thinly sliced potato slices. Add thin strips of onion, a sprinkle of fresh thyme, salt, pepper and a drizzle of olive oil.

Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes (this is enough to make two large pizzas so time depends on if you are baking both at the same time or not) until the crust is golden and the topping is golden and bubbling.
