Potato Pizza

A specialty from Apulia in Southern Italy, this is an interesting alternative to ordinary pizza. The topping is optional, but fish goes very well with the potato bottom. There is also a famous variety with sheep's cheese.

Boil 750 g potatoes, skin on, until soft. Peel when still hot and mash. Mix with 1 tsp salt and 2 tbsp olive oil. Let cool.

Image

Add 150-250 ml wheat flour and mix (the amount depends on the potatoes; the dough should be quite firm).

Image

Spread the dough onto a well greased baking tray.

Image

Add a simple tomato sauce (we use 1 can plum tomatoes, mashed with 2 tbsp tomato purée, 3 cloves garlic, sugar, salt, pepper, basil and 1 tbsp olive oil). Crumble two bags of mozzarella (250 g total) over the pizza.

Image

Add topping. This time we used tuna, onion, anchovies (home-pickled in olive oil) and olives. Sprinkle olive oil on top.

Image

Bake in a 200 C/400 F oven for 20-25 minutes. Sprinkle parsley on top and serve either hot or room tempered.

i love you, but your post only shows that good makeup can hide a lot of ugly.
how can a "pizza" that is made of fish, potato and sheep's cheese be famous? infamous, yes. and, is anything and everything covered with tomato sauce and baked in a flat pan properly called a pizza?

keep it comin' andre. your posts brighten up an otherwise very dreary wisconsin spring.

I can really recommend it, rhiza. Your signature is "Restaurants in Singapore" and this must be an ideal recipe for restaurants, since the potato dough can be made well in advance and then just spread onto the trays. Since the dough is unfermented, it's very insensitive. As with ordinary pizza, the topping must not be too watery, since that will make the bottom mushy. Adding one egg per kilo of the mashed potatoes helps the dough keeping together. Remember to grease the tray generously.

Good luck! Please tell me how you liked it.

Do you have an opinion of your own, or do you usually just copy what others already have written?

Just another Spammer grisell. If you look, you will see he has attacked quite a few threads in this forum.

Hi Andre,
Just keep all these recipes coming as much as possible. I don't believe in critising anybody on this forum as it is designed to promote friendship, helping each other and an exchange of knowledge and recipes.
As I said in a previous email, if you have a difference of opinion or an axe to grind, send a PM.
This week end I will try this recipe if time allows me.
Keep up the good work Mate!!!!
Regards,
Jan.

Jan, I might be being a little bit sensitive here, but nobody's criticising Grisell. The comments above are about the spam entries (now deleted) that this thread has seemed to attract.

Why? Who knows? Your guess is as good as mine! But no-one's saying that it's Grisell's fault!

HTH

Thanks, Phil! :)

mitchamus: That's my wife. She's better in the kitchen than with the camera... :wink:

crustyo44: If you'll make the recipe, try to find winter potatoes. With new potatoes, you will probably need a lot more flour because of their higher water and less starch content. This may make the dough too stiff; I don't know, I haven't tried with new potatoes.

It's difficult when spammers intercept a thread. The spammed posts are removed, but sometimes the posts that are left behind sit uneasily, because they appear to refer to posts other than the ones they were aimed at. At that point I'm a bit in limbo, do I remove all those posts? or leave them and hope people work it out? It's easy for those who saw the spammer posts and recognised them for what they are, but for people who didn't, or didn't read the thread until they were gone, it must be very tricky.

How about we leave the spam posts there but delete their content? Then they can act as spacers between the genuine posts...

Let me know what you think?

Dave.
