Potato with Prosciutto and Goat Cheese Pizza
Pizza Dough
6 small red potatoes
8 slices very thinly sliced prosciutto, cut into strips
4 tablespoons goat cheese
2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
Olive oil for brushing on dough and pizza
Fresh cracked pepper, salt to taste

Prepare pizza dough according to directions on bag. At least 1 hour before baking pizza, set pizza stone on lowest rack of oven (if you have a gas stove, stone can go directly on oven floor) and preheat oven to 500°F. Prepare pizza dough according to directions.

Microwave potatoes on high until almost tender, about 3-4 minutes. Once cool enough to handle, cut into 1⁄4 inch slices.

Brush crusts with olive oil or garlic oil if preferred.

Arrange potatoes on crusts, add prosciutto and sprinkle with goat cheese and the rosemary. Drizzle more olive oil on top of pizza. Salt and pepper to taste.

Put prepared pizza on the pizza stone. Cook for approx. 15-20 minutes, until the crust is crisp and the cheese has melted and browned.
Makes 4 pizzas
