Grilled Pizzas With Potatoes And Rosemary Food

AUTHENTIC ITALIAN POTATO PIZZA (PIZZA CON PATATE) WITH YELLOW IDAHO® POTATOES

Steps:

• Potato pizzas are traditionally make in rectangular pans, but you can use any shape you like. Oil your pan slightly, with about a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil.
• Shape the dough into the shape of your pan, then place the dough onto it, drizzle about a tablespoon or more, extra virgin olive oil and rub it over the surface evenly, then set in a draft-free place for a few minutes while you prepare the potatoes.
• Preheat the oven at this point, to 500˚F (260˚C) or the hottest your oven can be set. Do not use convection.
• Using a mandoline slicer or food processor, slice the washed and dried yellow Idaho© potatoes (do not peel) very thinly and place in a bowl.
• Add enough extra virgin olive oil to coat each slice (2-3 tbsp), then sprinkle lightly with the salt. Using your hands, mix the potatoes so they are evenly coated with oil and salt.
• Optional: sometimes, mozzarella cheese is added at this point, but if you do, do so sparingly (I didn't add cheese).
• Start layering the potato slices over the pizza dough in the pan, overlapping the slices slightly until all the dough is covered (unlike a traditional tomato pizza, you don't need to leave an edge of dough; I did so for the sake of the photos, or else the pizza would just look like slices of potatoes, but I'd recommend going all the way to the edge and will explain why, below).
• Drizzle with another 1 tsp or so, extra virgin olive oil and spread carefully and evenly over the potatoes, with your hand or a brush.
• Optional: sprinkle the some fresh rosemary, if desired (I did add rosemary to one half of my pizza).
• Place pizza on the floor of the oven, or if you aren't able to use the bottom, put it on the lowest rack, for 4 minutes. After 4 minutes, replace the pizza onto the middle of the oven for another 8 to 11 minutes, or until the potatoes begin to brown. If desired, reset the oven to broil (grill) and place the pizza on the top rack to make the potatoes a little more brown and crispy (this is why it's best to place the potatoes all the way to the edge of the dough, and not leave any exposed crust, so that you don't have to worry about the crust burning while you crisp the potatoes).
• Remove from the oven and cut into slices and serve hot, warm or cold.
• This pizza reheats really well, just place it back on a tray into a 400˚F (205˚C) oven for about 4 minutes.

BACON, POTATO, ROSEMARY AND FONTINA PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Put a jelly roll pan or half sheet pan in the oven.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the fingerling potatoes, onion, bacon, and rosemary leaves. Add 1/4 cup of olive oil and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Toss together to coat with olive oil.
• Take the preheated jelly roll pan out of the oven and drizzle some olive oil over entire surface. Cut the dough into 2 pieces and reserve 1 piece for another use. Stretch the pizza dough out so it is just bigger than the pan, then lay it inside the pan so the dough comes up the sides to form a crust on the rim.
• Pour the potato mixture onto the pizza dough, then sprinkle with shredded fontina. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until crispy and golden, about 20 to 25 minutes. Garnish with arugula and drizzle the lemon juice over the top. Serve immediately.
• In a small bowl, combine the yeast, sugar and water and stir gently to dissolve. Let the mixture stand until the yeast comes alive and starts to foam, 5 to 10 minutes.
• If you're using a stand mixer, combine the salt and flour to the bowl and pulse a few times to mix. Add the yeast mixture, at the lowest speed, until the flour incorporates. When the dough starts to come together, increase the speed to medium and mix until the dough gathers into a ball. This should take about 2 minutes. Add the olive oil and pulse a few more times. Stop the machine periodically to scrape the dough off the hook. Get a feel for the dough as you're making it by squeezing a small amount together between your thumb and fingers. If it's crumbly, add more water, if it's sticky, add more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and fold it over itself a few times, kneading until it's smooth and elastic.
• If you're making the dough by hand, add the yeast mixture to a large bowl and stir in the salt and the 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Then begin stirring in the flour. When the mixture becomes too stiff to stir with a spoon, knead in the rest of the flour by hand, adding just enough so that the dough is soft but not too sticky. As you work, squeeze a small amount of dough together between your thumb and fingers. If it's crumbly, add more water; if it's sticky, add more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time. Knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.
• Form the dough into a round and put it into a lightly oiled bowl, turning it over to coat the dough entirely with the oil. Cover with plastic wrap or a damp towel and let it rise in a warm spot (i.e., over a gas pilot light) until it doubles in size, about 1 hour.

• Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced/400°F/6 gas mark and grease two oven trays.large enough to accommodate two18cm x 30cm (7 inch x 12 inch) pizzas.
• Divide the dough in half; roll each portion into a two18cm x 30cm (7 inch x 12 inch) rectangle; place the rectangle of dough onto the two oven trays; brush the pizza bases with half of the olive oil.
• Combine the potatoes, garlic, rosemary thyme (and/or whatever other herbs you are adding), sea salt, black pepper (and bacon if using) and the remaining oil in a medium-sized bowl; layer the potato mixture over the pizza bases.
• Bake the pizzas for about 30 minutes or until the potatoes and the edges of the pizza bases have browned.
