Pizza Con Le Patate Potato Pizza Food

AUTHENTIC POTATO PIZZA

Steps:

• Prepare the mushroom truffle salsa:
• Clean the mushrooms and cut them into slices.
• Add the olive oil to a large pan or saucepan. Sauté the onion, garlic and add the mushrooms and wine.
• Add salt, pepper, thyme, and let them simmer with the lid on for about 15-20 minutes.
• Move the seasoned mushrooms into the food processor and mix until a fine paste is formed. Add the truffle oil and then move the whole composition into a jar.
• Meanwhile, prepare the pizza.
• Grease the pan with about a tablespoon of olive oil.
• Lay the top over the pan and grease it with another spoonful of olive oil.
• Heat the oven to 250 C.
• Using a mandolin or food processor, slice the potatoes thinly.
• Put the potatoes in a bowl, pour 3 tablespoons of olive oil, salt and pepper over the potato slices. Mix the potatoes in the oil so that all the slices are coated.
• Arrange the potato slices over the pizza crust, slightly overlapping the slices until the entire crust is covered.
• Sprinkle with a little more oil and even it out with a brush over the entire surface of the potato layer.
• Put the pizza in the hot oven and bake for 10-13 minutes, until the potatoes start to brown.
• You can move the pizza to the upper grill, for another 3-4 minutes and let the grill function, to make a golden crust. Sprinkle with the mixture of Italian herbs.
• Serve hot pizza with truffle sauce over, optional.

PIZZA CON LE PATATE (POTATO PIZZA)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 500 F (260 C). Evenly spread the potato slices over the pizza.
• Top with the rosemary leaves.
• Spread the olive oil on the pizza. Add salt and pepper.
• Bake the pizza for approximately 10 - 15 minutes. Lift one side to check for readiness. Pizza is ready when the bottom surface is light brown.

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.

BAKED POTATO PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Spray or grease a 15 x 10 inch pan.
• Unroll dough on cookie sheet. Stretch and press dough to fit pan and up sides.
• Arrange provolone cheese slices on dough.
• In medium bowl mix potatoes, olive oil, and ranch dressing mix.
• Spoon evenly over cheese.
• Top with bacon and cheddar cheese.
• Sprinkle pepper over pizza, as much or as little as you like.
• Bake 13 to 16 minutes or until crust is golden brown and cheese is melted.
• Sprinkle with onions if using.
• Top each piece with a dollop (teaspoon or more) of sour cream (I spread mine over the slice).

LOADED POTATO PIZZA

Steps:

• Proof the yeast first: Warm the 1 cup of water until its look warm. Stir in the sugar and yeast. Let it rest for 10 minutes. Its should look frothy.
• If using a bread maker: Add ingredients to bread maker on dough setting. Skip the manual hand kneading of dough. Place dough ball on a heavily floured surface and use your fingers/hands to stretch it and shape it into a round or square pizza. You could also use a rolling pin.
• HAND KNEADING DOUGH:
• QUICK METHOD: Knead with your hands until well combined, approximately 3 minutes, then let the mixture rest for 15 minutes. Knead rested dough for 3 minutes. Place dough ball on a heavily floured surface and use your fingers/hands to stretch it and shape it into a round or square pizza. You could also use a rolling pin. The roll the ends inwards slightly, this is your crust and prevent any wet ingredients from running off. (Note: You could also make the dough the night before and place dough in refrigerator, let dough sit at room temperature before using.).
• NOT SO QUICK METHOD: Knead with your hands until well combined, approximately 3 minutes, then let the mixture rest for 15 minutes. Knead rested dough for 3 minutes. Place on a heavily floured surface, cover with dampened cloth, and let rest and rise for 3 to 4 hours at room temperature. After the dough as risen, use your fingers/hands to stretch it and shape it into a round or square pizza.
• FOR THE POTATOES: Slice potatoes about 1/8 inch thick. Toss in oil, salt, and pepper and roast at 425 degrees for 10 minutes.
• Mix sour cream and ranch together until completed incorporated. Let sit in refrigerator until ready to use to let flavors come together.
• PREPARING THE PIZZA:.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Spread the potatoes evenly on rolled out dough.
• Top with cubed Mozzarella, shredded Mozzarella, and shredded cheddar cheese.
• Sprinkle the pizza with the bacon and green onions.
• Bake in a 400 degree oven until the edges turned brown - start checking around 15-20 minutes (times vary depending on the amount of toppings added.).
• Top with the sour cream/ranch sauce. Serve with extra sour cream/ranch sauce on the side. ENJOY!
