Red Onion, Potato, and Goat Cheese Pizza

The sweetness of red onions is tempered by tangy goat cheese in this carb-lover's pizza. Use any color fingerling potatoes you like—blue or purple varieties are particularly dramatic.

Yield: 6 servings (serving size: 2 pieces)

Ingredients

• 7  ounces  fingerling potatoes (about 5 potatoes)
• 1  teaspoon  olive oil
• 1  medium red onion, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
• 1  (13.8-ounce) can refrigerated pizza crust dough
• 2  tablespoons  cornmeal
• 1  cup  (4 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
• 3/4  cup  (3 ounces) crumbled goat cheese
• 1  garlic clove, minced
• 1 1/2  teaspoons  fresh thyme leaves

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 450°.

2. Place potatoes in a saucepan; cover with water. Bring to a boil. Cook 10 minutes or until just tender; drain. Cool slightly; cut potatoes crosswise into 1/4-inch slices.

3. Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion to pan, and sauté 8 minutes or until tender.

4. Roll dough out on a lightly floured surface to a 14 x 10–inch rectangle. Sprinkle cornmeal over a large baking sheet; place dough on baking sheet. Sprinkle mozzarella evenly over dough. Arrange potatoes and onion over mozzarella; top evenly with goat cheese and garlic. Bake in lower third of oven at 450° for 15 minutes or until browned. Sprinkle with thyme; cut into 12 pieces.
