Homemade Potato Pizza - Two Ways
Description
The recipe begins with a homemade pizza dough that is portioned and rested before baking. For the simple version, thinly sliced potatoes are soaked in cold water to remove excess starch and then thoroughly dried before layering with rosemary, salt, and olive oil on the dough. The pizza is baked first at 400°F until the potatoes soften, then the temperature increases to 425°F for browning.
The sausage-cheese variant uses shredded potatoes also soaked and dried, layered with half of the mozzarella cheese, cooked Italian sausage pieces, the rest of the mozzarella, rosemary, salt, and olive oil before baking similarly. This pizza develops a golden crust with melty cheese and flavorful meat, balanced by the herbaceous rosemary.
Leftover pizza should be stored airtight in the refrigerator and reheated in the oven or microwave. The notes suggest all-purpose flour is sufficient for the dough, but some prefer bread flour. Combining different flour types can adjust water absorption and dough texture as needed.

Notes
- All-purpose flour with 11% protein content works well for the dough, though bread flour or a blend of flours can be used according to preference.
- Store leftover pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days and reheat in the oven or microwave.
- Slice potatoes very thinly for the simple pizza and soak either sliced or shredded potatoes in cold water to remove starch before baking.
- Let the dough rest on the oiled baking sheet for at least 20 minutes before topping and baking.
