I’m redoing an old post for you. This potato pizza is so good and deserved a face lift from some old tiny pictures I took a few years ago. The potato slices are really thin and cook quickly.
Potatoes, cheese, bacon, and some buttery garlic spread is EXACTLY what you need tonight for dinner.
This pizza is so good. The simplicity is just spot on. Use any pizza dough you like for this easy pizza.
Ingredients:
pizza dough
2 tbs butter
2 tsp garlic, minced
2 medium potatoes
8 oz shredded cheddar
2 slices of bacon
chives or green onions
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees (also preheat pizza stone if using one)
Spread dough onto a pizza stone or pan poking a few holes with a fork.
Bake for 10 minutes until somewhat cooked.
While dough precooks, cook butter and garlic over low heat until melted and warmed through. Slice potatoes into thin slices using a mandolin or a sharp knife.
Remove crust from the oven and spread garlic butter over the top.
Spread cheese onto pizza dough and gently lay potato slices slightly overlapping.
Continue laying slices in circles around the pizza.
Top with salt & pepper.
Return to the oven for another 10 minutes (turn down to 350 if the potato slices aren’t cooking enough.
While the pizza cooks, pan fry the bacon and top the pizza with the bacon and chives.
Slice & serve!
We drizzled some ranch if you want a bit more moisture. My crust got a bit dark while the potato cooked. I should have turned it down a bit to 350 or 375 degrees.
I don’t usually go wild over potatoes, but on this pizza, they look awesome!
