Directions
- Preheat your oven to 250°C (fan 230°C). If using a pizza stone, place it inside to heat up for at least 15 minutes.
For the Garlic Butter:
- Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl.
- Stir in the garlic and salt while the butter is warm. Set aside and allow it to cool slightly.
For the Potatoes:
- Toss the potato slices with olive oil, salt, and pepper (this helps them cook evenly and crisp up during baking).
For the Pizza:
- Roll or stretch the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness.
- Brush about half the garlic butter over the pizza base.
- Arrange the potato slices, slightly overlapping, then scatter over the gorgonzola and Parmesan.
- Add the prawns, chilli, and eggplant slices (if using). Drizzle the remaining garlic butter over the prawns.
- Transfer the pizza to a hot tray or stone and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the crust is golden, the potatoes are tender, and the cheese is bubbling.
- Top with fresh rocket and drizzle with a little olive oil. Slice and serve immediately.

Helpful Tips
Storage
Best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in a hot oven or pan until the crust is crisp again.
Substitutions
- Gorgonzola: Swap for feta or goat’s cheese for a milder flavour.
- Chilli: Omit for a milder version or drizzle with chilli oil after baking.
Serving Suggestions
Serve topped with fresh rocket and a drizzle of olive oil or chilli honey. Pairs perfectly with a crisp green salad.
