Overall this pizza was fantastic. I thought that 1 Tablespoon of salt in the Melted Onions recipe was a bit much. My guests agreed it was a little on the salty side. I will definitely add this to my list of favorites, but recommend 1 teaspoon or less on the Melted Onions. One other note, slice the potato right when you are ready to put on the pizza, if you slice it ahead of time the slices start to turn brown.

I prefer a crisp pizza. I would omit onions and cheese. Spread sliced potatoes over pizza dough, add oregano, salt, pepper, olive oil and sprinkle cheese.

I look forward to trying this recipe but have to say it's kind of annoying to have to print read/print out 2 additional articles to have a complete recipe.

I love love love this pizza. Couple of caveats....I make my own dough - from my own recipe... then - I mandoline the potato, soak it in water - get some of the starch out, and then dry the potatoes - using a kitchen towel. Then load the pizza and cook. YUMMMO! When I have pizza parties this is a hit!
