ROASTED PIZZA POTATOES



Roasted Pizza Potatoes image

Provided by Bev Weidner

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h20m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 1/2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, cut into 1/2- to 3/4-inch bites (I used Klondike Goldust for these)
2 teaspoons dried oregano (or dried pizza seasoning)
Coarse salt
1 to 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
One 8-ounce block mozzarella cheese, grated
About 15 pepperoni slices
Pizza sauce, for serving
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley or chives, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Arrange the potatoes in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and season with the dried oregano and a good pinch of salt. Drizzle with the oil and toss to coat with your fingers. Roast for about 1 hour. (I went 1 hour and 10 minutes, just for extra browning.)
  • Remove the potatoes from the oven and switch the oven to broil.
  • Sprinkle the grated cheese over the potatoes and arrange the pepperoni in a single layer over the cheese. Broil for 2 to 3 minutes; don't take your eyes off it (see Cook's Note)! This happens fast, and all we want is browning and bubbling, and for the pepperonis to crisp and curl. Serve immediately with pizza sauce and a sprinkle of parsley or chives!

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h55m

Yield 1 large pizza (about 1 pound/500g pizza dough)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 teaspoon yeast
10 ounces warm water
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon raw sugar
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon leaf lard
2 russet potatoes
1 Vidalia onion
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
Extra-virgin olive oil
Sea salt
Freshly cracked pepper

Steps:

  • For the dough: In a medium bowl, mix the yeast with warm water and let sit for 5 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil, sugar and salt, and whisk. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, mix the all-purpose and whole wheat flours. Make a hole in the middle and pour in the yeast mixture. Slowly hand mix the flour until all the liquid is absorbed. If too wet, add more flour, 1/4 cup at a time. Sprinkle a clean work station with flour and knead the dough until smooth and elastic. Coat a large ceramic bowl with the remaining olive oil. Place the dough in the ceramic bowl, and flip over to coat in the oil. Cover the top of the dough with plastic wrap and cover the bowl with a dish towel. Let rise until the dough has doubled in size, 2 hours. Punch down the dough and let rise for another hour.
  • For the toppings: Using a mandoline, slice the potatoes and onion. Roughly chop the rosemary leaves.
  • Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F. Grease the pizza pan with the leaf lard.
  • Mold the dough into the shape of the pan. Brush with some olive oil. Place the pizza on the bottom oven rack for 5 minutes, to pre-crisp the crust. Add two layers of the potatoes in a scallop style. Add the onions, sprinkle with salt and pepper and drizzle with some olive oil.
  • Sprinkle with the rosemary and drizzle with more olive oil. Place on the middle oven rack and cook for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven. Immediately remove the pizza from the pan and cut into rectangles.
