din din last night... the more pizza i make, the more pizza i want to make. there's a pizzeria in danbury CT, Tuscano's, that has a great baked potato pizza with potato, bacon, onion & cheese which was the inspiration. loved it even better than theirs :)
ingredients list:
- 1 russet potato, sliced into thin (roughly 3mm) slices
- 1 recipe for pizza dough or fresh store-bought
- 1/4 cup ranch dressing
- 1/2 a red onion, diced
- 2 slices proscuitto, diced
- 1-1.5 cups cheddar cheese
- 4 oz cream cheese
- 1 green onion, diced
- 1 tsp garlic powder, divided
- black pepper
- 1/2 tsp parsley
- pinch salt
- olive oil
to make: mix 1-2 tbsp olive oil, salt, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, and parsley in small bowl and set aside. heat a large skillet on medium heat; preheat the oven (with pizza stone in the oven also) to 450 degrees; and heat outdoor grill over medium heat (only do this last step if you are finishing the pizza on the grill). heat 1-2 tbsp olive oil in the skillet, and sautee onion until it begins to brown.
roll out pizza dough on lightly floured surface. lightly flour the hot pizza stone, then carefully transfer the dough to the hot stone. spread ranch dressing onto the dough, then pile on first some cheese (cream cheese & cheddar), the potatoe, the onion, more cheeses, and the some garlic powder and black pepper (and any other desired seasonings). bake in preheated oven for about 12-13 minutes.
you can fully cook the pizza in the oven for a total of 14-16 minutes, or if you want to grill it, carefully transfer it to the preheated grill and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, until the bottom of the crust starts to get a nice char to it. within the last few minutes of cooking, add the proscuitto and the green onion to the pizza, and brush the crust with the garlic olive oil mixture. allow to cool a few minutes before serving.
