Chef's Tips
For a cheesier pizza, add a sprinkle of grated Jersey Cheddar or Parmesan cheese before the second bake.
If you don't have balsamic glaze, you can easily make your own by simmering balsamic vinegar over low heat until it thickens to a syrupy consistency.
Feel free to experiment with other toppings, such as prosciutto, goat cheese, or different herbs.
Make sure to drain the potatoes thoroughly to prevent a soggy pizza base.
