Rosemary, Potato + Ricotta Pizza Oh My!
In case you missed it, Mila and I harvested our first ever homegrown potatoes recently! We shared a quick video of the experience HERE, it was incredible. Harvesting these potatoes was the most exciting thing we’ve done in months. The first thing I used our fresh potatoes for was a pizza, obviously! I also pulled some rosemary from my garden to add because nothing is better than rosemary + potatoes. This pizza is the product of some serious garden triumphs and I’m beyond proud! The pizza turned out delicious so I’m sharing it below, it is a total must try …
A quick story about my giant rosemary bush. She started out so tiny in a pot and after a few months I decided to move her into my in-ground garden bed to give her more room. And holy moly did she GROW! She is so green and lush, her stems + leaves deliciously fragrant. We use rosemary often. She stands tall nearly begging for us to come use more of her. She has been with me since I started my garden last August. I love her. I’m grateful for her. You can see it in my face how much I adore this plant.
Giving my homegrown potatoes a wash. Though it is a good idea to give store bought potatoes a good wash and dry too!
Last year I perfected this simple pizza dough recipe! You can find that recipe HERE or use store bought. Either way this is a great weeknight dinner option.
In a small bowl mix 15 oz of ricotta cheese with 1/2 tablespoon of oregano, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese and salt + pepper. I also add about 1 tsp of garlic powder too. Once you have your pizza dough rolled out and on the baking pan, layer it thick with the seasoned ricotta. Use a spatula to evenly spread it out leaving room for the crust.
Next sprinkle about 2-3 finely chopped garlic cloves all over. Then layer thinly sliced potatoes. Be sure to not overlap the potatoes so they all cook and crisp up evenly. Also when slicing your potatoes, be sure to cut then very thin and the same size. This way they will all cook evenly while in the oven.
Lastly, drizzle the pizza with olive oil and chopped fresh rosemary! Bake in the oven at 400 degrees for about 10-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the potatoes are starting to crisp around the edges.
Enjoy!
