Equipment

  • Large baking sheet
  • Rolling Pin
  • Pizza cutter or large knife
  • Pastry Brush
  • aluminum foil

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb Pizza Dough
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 3 cups Potato Chips
  • 1 medium Red Onion
  • 2 cups Italian Cheese Blend
  • 10 leaves Fresh Sage Leaves

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven - Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C) - Make sure the oven is fully preheated before baking to ensure the pizza cooks evenly.
  • Roll out pizza dough - On a lightly floured surface, use a rolling pin to roll out the pizza dough into a circle about 1/4 inch thick - If you prefer a thinner or thicker crust, adjust the dough accordingly. Remember to flour the rolling pin and surface to prevent sticking.
  • Transfer dough to baking sheet - Carefully transfer the rolled-out dough to a large baking sheet - If the dough tears or breaks while transferring, simply patch it up with your fingers or a little bit of dough.
  • Brush dough with olive oil - Using a pastry brush, brush the dough with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, making sure to cover the entire surface - If you don't have a pastry brush, you can use a clean kitchen towel or even your fingers to spread the oil.
  • Top with potato chips - Evenly distribute 3 cups of potato chips over the oiled dough, gently pressing them down - Be sure to use sturdy chips that won't break easily under the weight of the toppings.
  • Spread red onion over chips - Thinly slice 1 medium red onion and evenly spread it over the potato chips - For a milder onion flavor, you can soak the sliced onions in cold water for a few minutes before using them.
  • Sprinkle cheese over onion and chips - Evenly sprinkle 2 cups of Italian cheese blend over the red onions and potato chips, making sure it's distributed evenly - Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese, or adjust the amount depending on your taste preferences.
  • Add fresh sage leaves - Arrange 10 fresh sage leaves on top of the cheese, spacing them out evenly - Fresh herbs are key to bringing out the flavors in this recipe, so be sure to use them if you can.
  • Bake in preheated oven - Bake the potato chip pizza in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly - Depending on your oven and personal preference, you may need to adjust the baking time or temperature. Keep an eye on the pizza to make sure it doesn't burn.
  • Serve and enjoy! - Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy the unique and delicious flavors of savory herb and cheese potato chip pizza! -
