Ingredients

The following ingredients have 2 Servings
  • ½ pizza dough (250-275 grams)
  • 2 medium potatoes (yellow, peel and slice about an ⅛- ¼-inch thick)
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic (chopped)
  • 3 medium onions (sliced)
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 2 tablespoons Parmigiano-Reggiano Cheese or Pecorino Romano Cheese (grated)
  • ¼ cup mozzarella cheese
  • 1 tablespoon extra grated cheese (additional)
  • ½ teaspoon paprika (additional)
  • 1 tomato (fresh, chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon Parmigiano-Reggiano Cheese or Pecorino Romano Cheese (grated)
  • Fennel fronds for garnish

Instruction

  • Preheating the oven to 500 °F (260 °C). Place the oven rack in the bottom third of the oven. When it’s time to bake the pizza, we will lower the heat to 450 °F (230 °C).
  • With slightly oiled fingers, shape the pizza dough in a 10- 12 inch round pizza pan. Grease the pan with oil or butter before stretching the dough. Place plastic film or a tea towel over the top and set in a draft-free place while the toppings are prepared.
  • Add about a tablespoon of salt to a large pot of water.
  • Bring the pot of water to a boil, add the potatoes and then lower the heat to a simmer until the potatoes are fork-tender. 
  • Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat.
  • Add the chopped garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds. 
  • Add the sliced onions and sauté until they become soft and begin to caramelize.
  • Remove from heat and transfer to a bowl in order to cool down quickly.
  • If the potatoes are fork-tender, drain and allow to cool down before combining with the cooked onions.
  • In a large bowl combine the cooked potatoes with slightly caramelized onions. Next, add the paprika and the grated cheese. Combine thoroughly together. 
  • Spread this potato mixture evenly across the top of the pizza dough.
  • Add the grated mozzarella along with a sprinkle of paprika.
  • Add another tablespoon or so of grated cheese (Parmigiano-Reggiano Cheese or Pecorino Romano Cheese) as well as a sprinkle of paprika over the top.
  • Lower the heat to 450 °F (230 °C) and bake in the oven for about 20 to 25 minutes, or the pizza's bottom crust is nicely browned. For extra color, place under broiler for the last 1 to 2 minutes of cooking. Keep an eye on it.
  • Garnish pizza with chopped fresh tomatoes along with some grated cheese (1 tablespoon) and garnish with some fennel fronds.
