I use to order from a local guy who unfortunately closed several years ago. He made a pizza with a ton ( 3 inches) of mashed potatos, bacon, cheddar. It was so good. He used a garlic butter sauce as the base.

Seems to me there was a pizza joint in Lebanon, OH a few years ago that made a very similar style pizza that was quite good.

I used to get a pie know as the Brooklyn Pie in a little shop in Huntington (north shore Long Island) Potato chunks kinda like home fries.....not as browned....onion, bacon and mozzerella....rosemary and olive oil...I would kill for one of those.

I just visited family in Italy and had potato pizza. I was in a tiny mountain village called Atina. When I first saw the pizza I thought it was covered with yellow squash, but it was just very yellow thin slices of potato. Delicious! If I knew how to upload a picture, I would.

Looks great porkbeaks. I had never thought about a potato pizza before. I may have to give it a try soon. True, I am running out of ideas to try.

Pizzeria Uno has a potato skin pizza appetizer that is fantastic! Although it's not exactly the potato pizza everyone is talking about, if you are ever at pizzeria uno, try it! It's a deep dish crust filled with mashed red potatoes with bacon, sour cream and cheese on top. I think they even sell it in the supermarket. I know I bought one at BJ's awhile ago. When I go to Uno's I usually order it as a meal just for myself.

At "Crazy Doughs" in Harvard square they have a :

"Potato Bacon Cheddar A sauce less pie topped with mozzarella,
seasoned red bliss potato, smoked bacon, finished with scallions and
freshly shredded cheddar. Best served with Ranch dressing on top
or on the side. A real satisfier. "

It is really good

You're a pro! That looks great...similar to what I've had in Italy...Might I suggest rosemary sprinkled on top..and some course ground black pepper! Also good with shoestring style potatoes

I took your suggestion and reheated the remaining 1/3 with the addition of some rosemary and some fresh ground pepper. Very good. It added some missing "zip". Thanks, pb

I had a hankerin' for some tater pizza tonight and (for once) actually remembered to take a few pics. It was pretty darn good if I do say so myself. pb

Here's a 18 oz. dough ball made with 2/3 King Arthur Bread Flour and 1/3 KA All-Purpose Flour - 8 oz. shredded Polly-O mozz (1/2 whole milk and 1/2 part skim) - Penzey's garlic salt - good quality evoo - 1 oz. each grated Parmigiano Reggiano and Pecorino Romano - 2 Red Bliss potatoes sliced thin on a mandoline and blanched for about 2-3 minutes

Assembled with the addition of a few sliced black olives.

Hot out of a 550 oven. Cooked for about 8 minutes

Somewhat out of focus (upskirt) shot

Sorry Leethebard: had not looked at this thread for awhile. What I was saying is that people in Italy probably know something about Pizza. It was a defense of the whole potato concept.

Mmm, I had a delicious mashed potato pizza back in November. It was called a "pizza bianco" and I had it at Chardonnay's in Seekonk, MA. It came highly recommended by a fan. Anyway, I posted a pic of it here: - SOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD! It had real mashed potatoes plopped on top of a white pizza flavored with garlic, rosemary, and oil. YUM!!!

Pigiron,

That's it!!!! That's what I was so use to seeing in Italy. That's the Potato pie...and I'm sure I tried most of the others. I did my own Pizza tour of Italy. And because so many places in Rome(especially) sold by the weight and I could have them cut small pieces(that's another thread!!!) I got to try everything!

The Grandaisy Bakery on Sullivan Street in NY (formerly known as the Sullivan Street Bakery) makes a thin crust bakery style potato with anchovie pizza that is delicious beyond belief. Here's a pic of their Potato and onion:

and their Funghi: Crimini Mushrooms, onion and thyme:

and theirPizza Cavofiore: Pizza with cauliflour with gruyere cheese

This is different than your potato pizza - but we have a microbrewery here in Pittsburgh called Chuch Brew Works (converted church - great ambiance). They make "Pierogi Pizza". It is pizza dough slathered with a concoction of mashed potatoes, sauteed onions and cheddar cheese, then baked to gooey perfection. It's a delicious dish - but to me - it ain't pizza. But none the less, it's great with beer!

There is a local restaurant in the Peoria, IL area called Fedora's that makes potato pizza. I think there are only a couple of locations left.
I haven't had it in years, but I remember it was almost addictive and very delicious!

That started with the peasants as a substitute for cheese which was too expensive for many of them to use regularly.

I too enjoyed the potato pizza in Italy, but had the thinly sliced potatoes instead of shoestring potatoes.

Those who worry about the starch on starch effect shouldn't worry...with the rosemary and olive oil, it gives a delicious combinations of flavors...and this can also be enjoyed at room temperature, too.

Toasted bread crumbs as a topping on pasta is not that uncommon in certain recipes in Italy, too, so various starch combinations such as these can been seen elsewhere.

uncledaveyo,
Explain your post. What does your comment mean???????

RE: Potato Pizza (uncledaveyo)

Fri, 08 Feb 2008 19:06:16 GMT

Yeah, something that's pretty common in Italy is "not pizza." What do those people know about Pizza?
