- Can I substitute Raclette cheese?
- It's difficult, as this gives its soul, but a mature Gruyère or Appenzeller can also work.
- Should I put the potatoes on raw?
- Absolutely not! Raw potato would not soften during the pizza baking time. It must be parboiled.

Instructions
1
✓
Boil the potatoes in their skins (approx. 20 mins), let cool, peel and slice.
Tip: If cooked in advance, the starch structure stabilises and they won't fall apart when slicing.
2
✓
Preheat the oven to 220°C.
Tip: A hot oven is a basic requirement.
3
✓
Brush the rolled-out dough thinly with oil, distribute the potato slices and thinly sliced onion over it.
Tip: You don't necessarily need sauce here, the cheese provides the juiciness.
4
✓
Sprinkle with salt, pepper and rosemary.
Tip: Rosemary essential oils go well with potato.
5
✓
Cover with slices (or grated) Raclette cheese.
Tip: Raclette cheese releases plenty of fat, so don't add extra fat underneath.

Bake for 12-15 minutes until the cheese bubbles and browns.
