Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb pizza dough (homemade or store-bought)
- 2 tablespoons cornmeal (for dusting)
- 3–4 small purple potatoes, sliced paper-thin
- 3–4 small gold fingerling potatoes, sliced paper-thin
- 1 ball fresh burrata cheese
- 1/2 cup fresh mozzarella, shredded
- 2 tablespoons freshly grated parmesan cheese
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2–3 scallions, thinly sliced
- Sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Heat: Pre-heat your oven to its highest setting (usually 500°F). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while heating.
- Infuse the Oil: In a small pan over low heat, warm the olive oil and minced garlic for 60 seconds until fragrant but not brown.
- Prep the Potatoes: Wash and slice potatoes into paper-thin rounds. Toss with a small amount of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Shape the Crust: On a floured surface, stretch the dough into a 12-inch circle. Place on a pan or parchment dusted with cornmeal.
- Layer and Assemble: Brush the garlic oil over the dough. Sprinkle with shredded mozzarella, then layer the potato slices in a circular pattern. Top with half of the scallions.
- Bake: Slide the pizza into the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes until the crust is golden-brown and potatoes are curled at the edges.
- The Final Garnish: Place the cold burrata ball in the center and break it open. Top with remaining scallions and parmesan cheese before serving.
Notes
Use a mandoline slicer to get the potatoes paper-thin for maximum crispness. If burrata is unavailable, a dollop of fresh ricotta works as a great substitute. Avoid using a rolling pin to keep the crust light and bubbly.
