HOMEMADE POTATO PIZZA - TWO WAYS

Steps:

• Make Pizza Dough as per instructions. Once dough has risen, pre-heat oven to 400F / 200C. Drizzle 2-3 cookie sheets or pizza pans with a tablespoon of olive oil, divide dough into 2-3 or balls and place on cookie sheet to rest for at least 20 minutes.

POTATO PIZZA

Steps:

• Peel the potatoes, cut into quarters, and cook in salted boiling water until fork tender.
• Once cool, take 1/3 of the potatoes and rice or mash the potatoes into a bowl.
• Cut the remaining potatoes into slices or small cubes and set aside for the topping.
• Place the yeast in a cup with 1 cup of warm water, and stir and wait until it is bubbly.
• Add the yeast mixture, the olive oil, and salt to the mashed potatoes.
• Begin to add the flour and stir with a wooden spoon until the dough comes together.
• Using your hands, bring the dough into a ball, and then knead it on a floured hard surface for about 7 to 8 minutes, or until the dough is smooth.
• Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover and let sit in a warm spot until it is doubled, about 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Roll out the dough into a circle or a rectangle about 14 to 15 inches across.
• Place the dough on a pizza peel sprinkled with corn meal.
• Place the fontina cheese evenly across the pizza, then spread out the potatoes on top.
• Sprinkle the pizza with the rosemary, strips of prosciutto, sea salt, shredded asiago, and cracked black pepper.
• Drizzle with the olive oil and let sit 15 minutes.
• Bake until the crust is golden brown and the top has begun to crisp, about 20 minutes.
• Let cool 10 minutes, cut into wedges and serve.

NEW POTATO & ROSEMARY PIZZA

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. Heat a pan of water, tip in the potato slices and simmer for 5 mins until just cooked through. Drain really well. Tip into a bowl with the olive oil and rosemary. Mix together well so that the potatoes are completely coated in the oil.
• Place the pizza bases on a baking sheet. Scatter the cheese over the pizza base, then arrange the potato mixture on top. Season with salt and pepper, then bake for 20 mins, until the pizza base is golden and the potatoes are starting to brown.

POTATO PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425F.
• Cook the potatoes in lightly salted boiling water until they are easily pierced with a knife.
• Drain them, mash a quarter of them into a bowl (reserve 1 cup of the potato water), cut the remainder into small cubes, and reserve.
• To make the dough, dissolve the yeast in the reserved potato water.
• Combine with 1/4 cup of the olive oil, salt, and the mashed potatoes.
• Stir in the flour a little at a time, adding just enough to make a dough that does not stick to the sides of the bowl.
• Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and knead for 4 to 5 minutes until it reaches a smooth consistency.
• (This can also be achieved in an electric mixer with the dough hook.) Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl.
• Cover the bowl with a wet towel or plastic wrap and let it rest in a warm place until the dough doubles in size, about 45 minutes.
• Roll the dough out into a large circle 1/8 inch thick and about 15 inches in diameter.
• Place the dough on a pizza stone or baking sheet, sprinkle with the mozzarella, Asiago and fontina, and top with the cubed potatoes.
• Drizzle the remaining olive oil on top of the pizza, then sprinkle it with fresh pepper, rosemary, oregano, basil, and Parmesan.
• Cover again with plastic wrap and allow to rise in a warm place for 25 minutes.
• Remove the plastic wrap, place in the oven, and bake for 35 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and crispy.
• Enjoy!

BAKED POTATO PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Scrub and dry potatoes, then prick several times with a fork and place onto a baking sheet.
• Bake in preheated oven until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Remove, cool, and peel.
• Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels; crumble.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). Lightly grease a pizza pan.
• Mix pizza crust mix, water, and oil in a large bowl with a fork until ingredients combine. When dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes. Shape dough into a flat circle and place on pizza pan. Build up edges slightly.
• Bake pizza dough in preheated oven until crust is firm and begins to brown, 5 to 6 minutes.
• Toss butter with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and potatoes in a large bowl. Combine sour cream and ranch dressing in a small bowl; spread over crust. Top with potato mixture, bacon, onions, mozzarella cheese, and Cheddar cheese.
• Bake in preheated oven until cheese is melted and lightly browned, 15 to 20 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before cutting.
