A new twist on potato pizza that surpasses expectations.

Deliciously Unique Potato Pizza Recipe

If you're looking to impress your taste buds with something truly extraordinary, how about crafting a tantalizing potato pizza? This delightful dish originates from the pizza al taglio style of Rome, typically prepared in large, rectangular shapes and perfect for enjoying at any time of the day. These pizzas are traditionally baked in electric ovens, making them accessible for your home kitchen. Say goodbye to the days of needing a commercial-grade oven; this recipe allows you to create culinary magic right at home!

Ingredients You'll Need

• 1 batch of your favorite pizza dough (or about 2/3 of a lazy, quick recipe)
• 4 teaspoons fine sea or table salt
• 6 to 8 small to medium Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled (about 1 kilo)
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 4 to 5 tablespoons olive oil
• A generous tablespoon of fresh rosemary leaves

Preparation Process

To kick off your culinary adventure, start by mixing 1 quart of lukewarm water with 4 teaspoons of salt in a medium bowl until the salt fully dissolves. Next, grab a mandoline or your sharpest knife and slice the peeled Yukon Gold potatoes as thinly as possible, around 1/16 inch thick. Immediately immerse these slices in the salted water. This soaking process, which can last from 30 minutes to 12 hours, helps prevent the potatoes from oxidizing while ensuring they become tender and ready to cook perfectly.

Next, preheat your oven to a blazing 500°F and position a rack in the center. Grease either a large 13x18-inch rimmed baking pan or two 9x13-inch quarter-sheet pans generously with olive oil.

Once your potato slices have soaked, drain them in a colander and gently press out any excess water, then pat dry using paper towels. In a medium-sized bowl, mix the sliced potatoes with the diced onions, black pepper, and olive oil until they are evenly coated. Spread this golden mixture over your oiled dough, ensuring it reaches the edges for maximum flavor, particularly around the perimeter where it tends to cook faster. Finish off by sprinkling fresh rosemary over the top, and feel free to add a bit more salt if you prefer.

Now it’s time for the grand finale! Slide your pizza into the preheated oven and let it bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Watch closely as it transforms into a golden delight, ensuring the crust gets that beautifully bronzed color underneath. When it's finished, serve your potato pizza hot or let it cool down to room temperature—the choice is yours!

Homemade Pizza Dough Basics

This recipe yields a simple yet effective pizza dough that can be halved and adjusted for additional convenience:

• 2 cups minus 1 tablespoon (250 grams) all-purpose or bread flour
• 1/4 teaspoons (5 grams) instant or active dry yeast
• A heaped 1/4 teaspoon fine sea or table salt
• A heaped 1/4 teaspoon granulated sugar
• 2/3 cups (150 grams) room temperature water

To prepare, mix flour, yeast, salt, and sugar in a medium bowl. Gradually add the water while mixing with a wooden spoon or your hand. Aim for a well-combined dough, which should only take around 30 seconds. Cover your bowl and let it rise at room temperature until it’s more than doubled in size, typically about 2 hours. Once your dough has developed, follow the cooking instructions above for a delicious outcome!
