Sometimes all you need in life are a few carbs. A few carbs and a heaping dose of Cypress Grove goat cheese! Ummm, yes please. After a long week, I was in need of a little comfort food, enter Potato and Goat Cheese Pizza, and this pizza was the perfect solution. Crispy pizza crust with a soft center, super thin slices of yukon gold potatoes, and shmears of an herbed goat cheese, yup, this pizza was a total winner.
Let’s be honest here. I have a long list of favorite foods – guacamole being right up at the top. But shortly below guacamole there is pizza. I like all sorts of pizza. You can top it with different cheeses, pile it high with veggies, add some salty prosciutto, perhaps a few squash blossoms, I mean the possibilities are endless. The one thing about making a vegetarian pizza is that it means there is more for me. My boyfriend, a total carnivore, doesn’t really give a vegetarian pizza much thought, he’ll pass it by and grab something with some more protein. Me on the other hand, well, I like the no meat thing once in a while. So when I make a big vegetarian pizza there are always a few leftovers in the fridge with my name on them. And I have no one to fight with on who gets the last piece.
But really, if my boyfriend knew what he was missing, he would be totally bummed. So go make this pizza for yourself, maybe for your girlfriends or a girls night in, or for your fam on a meatless night!

- 4 tbsp corn meal
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 oz Cypress Grove Chevre
- 1 medium Yukon Gold potato thinly sliced

Now you just need to combine them… guacamole pizza!
Gaby this looks awesome!!
I posted yesterday about the Nutella Brownies I made and am donating to the San Diego “branch” of your bake sale. The emails with our group have been flying up and back for weeks, on a daily basis! We are all so excited 🙂
I had potato pizza for the first time last year and didn’t love it because the cheese was too much…but with goat cheese I would think it’s perfect because the tang cuts some if the richness! Yum!
I would love every carb-loaded bite of this pizza!! Perfect for a night in and a big glass of wine.
This looks like the perfect pizza! Goat cheese is right up there with my favorites
This combo sounds completely mouth-watering. Must try.
This pizza is lovely! Goat cheese is so awesome.
This is a popular dish in Italy. My dad always makes a similar version of this pizza during the winter months. Yummy!
The same thing happens to me with my boyfriend! Give me the carbs and veggies! Can’t wait to try this, looks delish!
Would any other herb besides rosemary work? I’m not a huge fan of rosemary, but I LOVE potato pizza!
Wow. This looks amazing! I love my goat cheese 🙂
Love this carbo pizza!! Awesome seeing you yesterday & I am so glad the bake sale was such a HUGE hit. xo
This pizza looks simply delectable! Can’t wait to make one of my own 🙂
I am currently on a goat cheese “kick” (to put it mildly) so this would be the perfect chance for more goat cheese!! 🙂 Your photo is fantastic, too.
Love this pizza! Word of advice, if you think you’ve put on too much cheese, you haven’t! Goat cheese is so delicious. Thank you so much Gaby for this recipe. You’ve really inspired me to start making healthy, home-cooked meals and dedicate more time to my food photography! Now a dedicated viewer to your site and it all started with this pizza!
Thanks Ellen!! xx
