New favorite pizza alert!
This cast iron skillet pizza is topped with thinly shaved potatoes, chives, lots of gruyere cheese and a tangy arugula salad.
It sounds a little crazy and I love it! While it’s not like a traditional pizza, it tastes like everything I want to eat, all the time.
And not just because it’s carbs on carbs. Potatoes on dough? Sure, I can get on board with that. Everyone else might look at me like I’m crazy, but trust me!
It WORKS.
Sure, this combination is definitely not something I make on the regular. It’s not a weeknight staple and the kids would most likely turn their nose up at it if I tried to turn it into one.
But everyone was so pleasantly surprised by it.
The flavor! The texture. How incredibly satisfying it is and how perfect the flavors go together.
This is how I make it!
First, any pizza dough works. Right now, I’m obsessed with sourdough pizza dough. I also use my classic pizza dough for this recipe. We’re going to make it in a cast iron skillet, which is a quick and simple way to make pizza.
It also somewhat mimics a wood fired pizza, which is deeeeelish.
So while the dough is rising or hanging out, I start with the potatoes. I like to use a mandolin so I can slice them as thin as possible. This is key!
Once the potatoes are sliced, I soak them in ice water. This removes some of the starch and allows them to get crispier in the hot oven. Back before I had kids, I did this with homemade fries all the time.
I also just typed that “I did this with homemade friends,” so it’s safe to say that I’m a tired parent!! Hence why I don’t have time to soak my potatoes every week. But here, I make an exception!
Then, when the potatoes have soaked, I pat them dry. Next comes a drizzle of olive oil, lots of salt and pepper and some chives. The key is layering the flavor, so it’s important to season the potatoes well. (more…)
