Potato and Rosemary Pizza

"Adapted from a recipe in 'The Australian Women's Weekly's Cooking on a Shoestring'. If you aren't vegetarian and you can stretch your shoestring to include bacon, a couple of rashers of bacon tastes great as an additional topping. I've added a couple of extra herbs to the original recipe that had only the rosemary and, if you're making this, I'd encourage you to use whatever are your favourite herbs. I've included the pizza dough from the original recipe but I've also made this with Recipe #4892, which I found when checking on Zaar before posting this recipe. It also makes a deliciously crisp and flavoursome pizza base. The preparation time below includes the 60 minutes standing dough when making the dough."

  1. A very nice pizza. The crust is very crisp so it helps if you spread the topping almost all the way to the egde. The flavors are wonderful, I used turkey bacon and a little oregano. It was very easy to make and made a wonderful lunch while my husband was out of town!
     
  2. This is a wonderfully different and delicious pizza. I made half of the recipe and really enjoyed it. I did use the optional bacon and used a little more garlic than called for. My crust was nice and crisp which was great with the potatoes. Thanks for posting this recipe!

July 2008 update: VERY happy to be back on Zaar after about a two year absence due to having had no internet connection at home, and having been too unwell for a time so that getting re-connected wasn't even a priority! <br> <br>And really looking forward to getting back into the Zaar world and connecting again with the many wonderful people I knew before, and new people, of course!
