Authentic Italian Potato Pizza, the Perfect Pizza Dough is made into a Tasty Potato Pizza done two different ways. A simple and a Cheesy, Sausage version. Both easy and both so delicious.

Potato Pizza has always been a favourite in our house. Especially for my kids. When they were little and we would go to get bread at the Bakery, they would always ask for a piece of Pizza e Patate.

So when my cousin was here visiting and we ordered a slice of Pizza she promptly ordered, Potato Pizza. She ordered the simple just Potato and rosemary pizza, whereas I prefer the more is best option with mozzarella and sausage on top!

Therefore I decided I would give you the option of choosing your favourite.

But to start I knew that in order to make the very best pizza you needed to make your own Homemade Pizza Dough, and I have to admit mine is definitely one of the best I have ever eaten (and many of you have told me the same thing) and it’s so easy:

How can you make this Pizza Dough?

  • you can make it by hand
  • you can make it with a stand up mixer
  • you can let it rise to use in a couple of hours
  • or you can let it rise overnight in the fridge to use the next day

Ingredients for  Potato Pizza:

To make the simple Potato Pizza all you need are a couple of potatoes sliced very thin, 1-2 sprigs of fresh rosemary and olive oil.

The Potato Pizza with cheese you will need, mozzarella, a couple of potatoes shredded, 1-2 Italian sausages, fresh rosemary sprigs and olive oil.

Tips for making the Best Potato Pizza:

  1. Whether you make your dough with a machine or by hand, be sure to let it rise until doubled in bulk.
  2. This Pizza Dough recipe will make 2 large or 1 large and 2 medium pizzas. You may even get another pizza depending on how thick you like your crust.
  3. Make sure to let the dough rest at least 20 minutes before stretching into your desired form.
  4. Wet your fingers with a little oil when stretching the dough, this way it won’t stick to your fingers.
  5. And yes stretching the dough with your fingers is best, because it is easier on the dough.
  6. Slice the potatoes thin so they will bake perfectly.
  7. This Potato pizza is baked at a lower temperature to make sure everything bakes to perfection.
  8. Let Pizza sit about 3 minutes before cutting.

What temperature to Bake the Pizza:

Because of the potatoes this pizza is best baked at a lower temperature than traditional pizza, I bake mine at 400F / 200C for approximately 20 minutes and then the last 5 minutes raise the temperature to 435F / 225C.

        I only recently learned there was such a thing as potato pizza. So far I have made mine using leftover mashed potatoes then topping that with green onions, chopped bacon, and cheddar cheese. I have not been brave or patient enough to make my own dough, so I build mine on a large flour tortilla that I’ve heated up for a minute or two while in the oven as it is getting up to 350 degrees.

        WHEN I SAW THE RECIPE FOR “POTATO PIZZA” I WAS ALL EXCITED BECAUSE i THOUGHT IT WAS WHAT MY MOTHER AND AUNTS MADE, I.E., THEY WOULD BOIL THE POTATO, MASH IT OR BETTER YET PUT IT THRU A RICER AND THEN IT WAS MIXED IN WITH THE FLOUR, ETC. THE DOUGH WAS PUT IN THE PAN RATHER THICK AND IT WAS VERY FLUFFY. DO YOU HAVE A RECIPE FOR THAT KIND OF PIZZA? MY MOTHER’S FAMILY WAS FROM PUGLIA.
        THANKS A FAN OF YOURS AND YOUR WONDERFUL RECIPES.

        interesting recipe however when i was growing up the Italian women made a “potato pizza” putting grated raw potatoes into the flour recipe itself and then letting it rise. It make a thick and very light baked dough. Are you
        familiar with this type of recipe? Carol

          Hi Carol, yes that type of pizza dough is popular in southern Italy, my recipe is more from the centre (Lazio) area of Italy. Although I am very interested in making the dough with potato in it, because as you say it makes a delicious crust. 🙂
