Potato Pizza

Potato Pizza  Who would have thought of putting potato on pizza?  This is one of my absolute favorites.

Servings: 2 yield(s)
Ingredients
  • 1 portion Pizza Dough (See NOTE)
  • 300 g small New Potatoes
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 2 cloves Garlic - thinly sliced
  • 1.5 tbsp fresh Rosemary Leaves - chopped
  • 90 g smoked Cheese - coarsely grated
  • 110 g Gruyère OR Jarlsberg cheese - coarsely grated
  • 0.25 a Green Capsicum (Bell Pepper) - cut into strips
  • 8 pitted Kalamata Olives - halved
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 220°C. Bring a pot of water to the boil, add the potatoes and boil for 3 minutes, then drain – they need to remain firm enough to slice.
  2. Bring a pot of water to the boil, add the potatoes and boil for 3 minutes, then drain – they need to remain firm enough to slice.
  3. When cool enough to handle, slice the potatoes thinly – a mandolin is ideal for this. Heat the oil in a large frying pan, over a medium heat, and fry the potato slices until lightly browned on both sides.
  4. Add the garlic and half the rosemary and cook for a further minute.
  5. On a lightly-floured surface, roll the dough to form a disc approximately 30cm in diameter and place on a lightly-oiled pizza tray.
  6. Sprinkle ⅔ of the smoked cheese over the pizza base, top with the other cheese, arrange the potato slices over the cheeses, scatter the capsicum over, top with the remaining smoked cheese, remaining rosemary and the olives.
  7. Bake until browned to your preference – approximately 15 minutes.
