potato garlic lemon thyme pizza

yes i know. carbs as a topping for carbs. yeah yeah. i get it. but man was it worth it. technically we still have five more days of winter, even though my 8 year old told me it was warm enough to go swimming today (it isn’t). it’s still winter, and i still want my comfort foods. and this, is one of them. the potato combined with lemon and thyme is perfect. then topped with shaved parmesan cheese, drizzled with garlic infused olive oil. yes. winter is glorious.

potato garlic and lemon thyme pizza 

• pizza dough (i used whole wheat flour and added flax seed to the dough)
• 1/3 cup olive  oil 
• 1 garlic clove crushed
• 5 baby potatoes, thinly sliced
• 1/2 cup finely grated parmesan cheese
• 1 small shallot thinly sliced
• 1/2 t grated lemon rind
• salt and cracked black pepper
• fresh thyme
• shaved parmesan cheese to serve

preheat oven to 400

roll out your dough onto a lightly greased pizza stone or baking sheet. combine garlic and olive oil into a small bowl and mix, crushing the garlic to infuse with the oil, stir in the grated lemon. layer the sliced potatoes on top of the rolled out dough, place the sliced shallots on top of potatoes, and brush with 1/2 olive oil. sprinkle with the grated parmesan, salt, pepper and thyme.

bake for 20-30 minutes, until crust is golden and potatoes are tender.

top with shaved parmesan, and drizzle with remaining garlic olive oil.

ahh winter, what’s not to love.
