Thin crust potato pizza with Balsamumm drizzle

It was studying abroad in Rome, Italy, where I fell in love with potato pizza. The quality and freshness of the ingredients and the simplistic preparations make for the best meals. The thinly sliced potatoes give the flat dough a nice crunch and goes great with a drizzle of Balsamumm!
