I made my own dough, which was enough for three pizzas: Potato, Fig &
Prosciutto and a regular one with Italian sausage, mushrooms etc.

I'd never made potato pizza before tonight. I sliced the potatoes thin
on a mandoline and followed this recipe without too much variation.

Looks interesting. I've never made a potato pizza, but have had it from
a nearby restaurant. Th ey put ricotta cheese and broccoli on theirs.
I may try this by itself and with variations.

Very good looking. I'd like to try some. I've never had potato
pizza. I think I have a recipe somewhere.

Where's my invitation? We had potatoe and bacon pizza at a pizza
parlor just a few months- sounded odd, looked odd, but boy, oh boy, it
was tasty.

Fig and prosciutto reminds me of ham and pineapple - a sweet and a
savory.

It's MUCH better tasting than you might think, Janet! I love them
sliced so thinly and will do that again. I have some prosciutto
leftover from the fig pizza, so I think I'll use it with the potato
and rosemary next time. I can actually visualize a breakfast
(brunchy) type pizza with the potatoes, prosciutto and an egg now
because I've had all the components other ways and liked them - so why
not?

It's SO good! I couldn't rest until I made it again and fig season is
over quickly. I used fig jam on the last one, freshly made fig and
pear jam on this one - but the jam I made was too sweet for me, so
I'll stick with Trader Joe's commercial fig jam (less work for me,
too).

The figs that I got at Costco this year were really sweet.

That could explain it, but the pears were really ripe and sweet too.
Good thing I only used a fraction of the sugar suggested - but I
should have put more lemon. Oh well. I didn't like the combination
to make more fig-pear combo to jar. Found a recipe for fig and
raspberry jam this morning which sounded appealing - but I'm doubting
my ability to visualize flavors at the moment.

That looks very good and I see that you said you liked it and will
make it again. That's the best taste review.

Take any pics of your other 2 pizzas?

I made my vegetable one yesterday. Taste is fantastic but the pics I
took not so good. Oh well.

Does this taste more like French fries, or Pierogi pizza ?

I'd like to see something like this in the states.

I think I'll make a pizza. My wife has to eat no fat foods for a week or
two so I guess there can't be any cheese. So far I've got a garlic and
tomato sauce pizza I could add some tofu but that sounds horrible. As it
goes, she can have all the angel food cake and marshmallows she desires. :-)

Tomato sauce and garlic reminds me of "marinara" pizza: a classic, topped
with just tomato sauce, coarsely minced garlic, fresh oregano and EVO oil.
My GF usually orders it asking for an addition of anchovies

Neither. It's more like focaccia.

I would put eggplant that isn't breaded on a pizza, in fact a
ratatouille pizza sounds delicious to me - but there is nothing I like
about the way that pizza looks. Not even the crust appeals to me.

No fat at all? That's a toughie. You need a little fat to make the
crust and a little more on top... even if you stick to pizza bianca or
potato pizza.

Why no fat? Most all foods contain some fat naturally. Flour
contains fat, tomatoes contain fat, herbs/spices contain volatile
oils.

Olive oil is pure fat... may as well add the cheese.

Sounds good except for the oil. Maybe I can substitute water packed tuna
for the anchovies. ;-)

I typically don't use any oil in my dough. I like to use a lot of oil
for the pan though. The pizza comes out fried. For no oil, I'd use corn
meal on the bottom of the pan - it comes out fine. The potato pizza
sounds like a killer but I don't think it would work just dry. I will
make it when my wife is able to handle some fat. Thanks!

Don't you use a pizza stone? I've switched from cornmeal to flour for
my peel.

About 10 days more. Her lymphatic system has be compromised and she
could leak fats into her body if she's not careful. It's all so goofy as
hell. That's the breaks.

I don't have a stone. My thick metal, dark baking sheet works pretty
good though.

Sounds like a yummy pizza...how was it with potato

Surprisingly good! I'd never eaten one either so didn't know what to
expect. The potatoes were very thinly sliced and coated with oil
before they were put on the pizza, so they start to crisp up like a
potato chip. They weren't potato chips because they weren't in the
oven long enough, but they certainly started taking on that look.

I see lots of internet recipes with potato plus more toppings, but I'm
glad I started simple because it was so delicious!
