Garlic Mashed Idaho® Potato Pizza
Chef-Owner Scott Nelson, Pizza Luce, Minneapolis

Yield: 4 medium pizzas, 4 crusts, 5 to 7 servings of Garlic Mashed Idaho®


4 each Pizza dough, 9- to 11-oz balls
1/2 C Butter, unsalted, softened
1/4 tsp Salt
2 tsp Garlic, minced
1/4 tsp Oregano, dried
1 1/2 C Garlic mashed Idaho® potatoes
4 each Tomatoes, diced
3 C Green onions, chopped
4 C Feta cheese, crumbled

Pizza dough
2 each Active dry yeast, 1/4-oz packet
2 tsp Sugar, granulated
1 3/4 C Water, warm (100-110 degrees F)
3 3/4 C High-gluten flour
1/4 C Whole wheat flour
2 tsp Kosher salt
1/4 C Olive oil, plus as needed

Garlic mashed Idaho® potatoes
4 Lb Baby red Idaho® potatoes, skin-on, boiled
1/4 C Butter, unsalted
2 C Heavy cream
1 C Garlic, roasted, pureed
1/2 TBS White pepper
1/2 TBS Freshly-ground black pepper
3 TBS Kosher salt

1. Roll out each dough ball on a floured surface. Slide dough onto a floured sheet pan or pizza stone.

2. Whip butter, salt, garlic and oregano in a food processor until well combined. Spread an even layer of garlic butter mixture onto each crust, to edges.

3. Spread mashed potatoes onto each crust, creating a layer about 1/4-inch thick, reserving 1 inch of crust at edges. Sprinkle tomato, green onions and feta evenly among 4 pizzas.

4. Bake pizzas in oven heated to 450 degrees F for 15 to 18 minutes on a stone or 20 to 24 minutes on a sheet pan. Serve immediately.

Note: For best results, make dough and mashed potatoes 1 day in advance.

Pizza dough
1. Combine yeast, sugar and water in a bowl and reserve for 5 minutes. Combine flours and salt in a separate bowl with dough hook, then pour olive oil on top. Add yeast mixture to flour mixture and mix until dough pulls from sides of mixing bowl. Knead dough by hand on a moderately floured surface for about 15 seconds, then stop to allow dough to reshape. Repeat kneading process about 6 times. Split dough into 4 even balls, brush balls with olive oil, cover and reserve, refrigerated, for up to 2 days (at least 1 day for best result). For use, bring dough to room temperature for 10 minutes before rolling out for pizza.

Garlic mashed Idaho® potatoes
1. Combine all ingredients and mash by hand. Reserve, warm.

Well, I guess since I posted the recipe, this is not so off topic

Could these recipes have been developed for the Idaho Potato Board??? That pizza certainly looks incredible, thanks for posting the recipe (and, no, this post certainly was not OT!!!)


Re: So Far O.T.!!!! - cjs - 03-23-2010

Yes, it was, Vicci - the calendar is from the ACF (American Culinary Federation). Chef Nelson is a member.

Y'know, I was thinking maybe pizza tonite


Re: So Far O.T.!!!! - Gourmet_Mom - 03-23-2010

Funny that you posted this. This looks good and so did the one Tyler Florence made Saturday morning. I hadn't thought much about putting potatoes on pizza until I saw the one he made. He did one with thinly sliced (lengthwise) fingerling potatoes, bacon, rosemary and fontina. (I still haven't found fingerling potatoes...but I'm still looking.) He garnished it with arugula and drizzled lemon juice over the top. I wanna make BOTH!

uh, uh, uh,.....and on page 101.....


Re: So Far O.T.!!!! - Harborwitch - 03-23-2010

I'm guessing that this pizza won't be found in the "SmartCarb" cookbook?????

Sounds like ultimate comfort food - pizza and mashed potatoes!!!!


Re: So Far O.T.!!!! - cjs - 03-23-2010

I think that would be a smart guess, Sharon.


Re: So Far O.T.!!!! - Gourmet_Mom - 03-23-2010

"uh, uh, uh,.....and on page 101..... " DUH! OKAY...let me ammend that....I hadn't wrapped my brain around it until I saw him pull the thing out of the oven. I needed the visual...LOL!

****Give it up Daphne. You're not getting around this one!******

If you have some garlic mashed potatoes left, try them in an omelet. That was another favourite at that restaurant I mentioned awhile ago that serves a pear and Gorgonzola omelet.
