Potato-Lover’s Pizza
When potatoes are sweet and in season, this is a great time to make this carb-loaded pizza. The key is to slice the potatoes and onions very thin so that they fully cook by time the pizza crust is golden brown. I prefer to use a mandoline, but a slicing wheel attachment for your food…

This simple potato salad is made with baby red potatoes, olive oil, garlic, and masses of fresh herbs.
