If you’re tired of ordinary potato dishes, be sure to make this ‘Real Potato Pizza’ for a special treat!
Ingredients- 1 potato (medium size)
- 100g mozzarella cheese or pizza cheese
- 1/4 onion
- 1/3 tsp salt
- 1/3 tsp black pepper
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 2 Tbsp maple syrup (adjust to taste)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare all the necessary ingredients to make a delicious potato pizza.
Step 2
Wash the potato, which will be the pizza crust, peel it, and then thinly slice it to about 0.2cm thickness. Using a mandoline slicer or grater will make this easier.
Step 3
Stack the thinly sliced potatoes and then julienne them into thin, long strips of about 0.2cm thickness. Cutting them to a consistent thickness will ensure they cook evenly.
Step 4
Thinly slice the 1/4 onion and then julienne it. Place the julienned onion in a bowl with the julienned potatoes. Add the prepared salt (1/3 tsp) and black pepper (1/3 tsp) and gently toss to season. You can let it sit for a moment to draw out some moisture from the potatoes.
Step 5
Heat a pan over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil, spreading it evenly across the pan. Spread the seasoned potatoes and onions thinly and evenly in the pan. Cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, flipping once, until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy. It’s important to cook the potato crust until it’s firm and holds its shape.
Step 6
Once the potato crust is golden brown on both sides, sprinkle a generous amount of the prepared cheese (100g) over the cooked surface. Cover the pan with a lid and cook over low heat for another 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted. You’ll have a delicious pizza with wonderfully stretchy cheese.
Step 7
If you’re using an oven, air fryer, or a pan with a grill function, you can place it under the broiler or bake at a high temperature for a short time after adding the cheese. This will create an even more appetizing and impressive visual. Bake for just about 1-2 minutes.
Step 8
Voila! Your delicious ‘Real Potato Pizza’ is ready! Carefully slide it from the pan onto a serving plate.
Step 9
For an even more fragrant and visually appealing pizza, lightly sprinkle dried basil flakes over the finished pizza. The aromatic basil will further enhance the pizza’s flavor.
Step 10
Finally, here’s my top tip! Drizzle about 2 tablespoons of maple syrup over the finished pizza to your liking. The sweetness combined with the savory potatoes creates a ‘seriously amazing’ flavor combination! If you don’t have maple syrup, honey or corn syrup can be substituted for a delicious result. Personally, I’m really loving the flavor of maple syrup these days, so I highly recommend it! Enjoy your meal!
