Oozy Taleggio makes for the ultimate cheesy pizza, while thin potato slices bring a double-carb hit.

1 bunch rosemary, leaves finely chopped
1 bunch thyme, leaves finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1/2 cup (125ml) extra virgin olive oil, plus extra to serve (optional)
2 x 26cm good-quality, ready-made pizza bases
2 desiree potatoes, skin on, very thinly sliced (a mandoline is ideal)
200g Taleggio or other soft washed-rind cheese, torn

Method

1.

Preheat the oven to 220°C. Line 2 large baking trays with baking paper.
2.

Place the rosemary, thyme, garlic and extra virgin olive oil in a bowl, season and stir to combine. Place pizza bases on the baking trays and brush with the herb oil. Arrange the potato slices in a single layer on top, brush with more herb oil and scatter over pieces of Taleggio. Season with a little sea salt. Bake the pizzas for 15-20 minutes until the potato is golden and tender and the bases are crisp and golden.
3.

Drizzle pizzas with extra virgin olive oil, if desired, cut into slices and serve.
