Potato Chorizo Skillet Pizza has mellow roasted Yukon Golds, savory Spanish Chorizo, gooey melted Mozzarella and briny, spicy Pepperoncini Peppers.

Ingredients

  • 1-2 Yukon Gold Potatoes, sliced 1/8-inch thick
  • Olive Oil
  • Kosher Salt and Black Pepper, to taste
  • 1 Prepared Pizza Dough
  • 1/2 cup Marinara Sauce
  • 1.5 cups Low Moisture Mozzarella, grated
  • 6-8 oz. Spanish Chorizo, thinly sliced
  • 10 Peperoncini Peppers, stemmed and quartered

Instructions

1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

2

Toss the potato slices in a bowl with a drizzle of olive oil, Kosher salt and pepper. Spread the potato slices in a single layer on a parchment-lined sheet pan and roast for about 20 minutes. Just until the potato slices are fork tender.

3

Turn the oven up to 450 degrees.

4

Lightly oil the bottom and sides of an oven-safe skillet. Pat and stretch the dough to about 11-inches round and place it in the skillet. Let the dough comes up the sides a little bit to make the crust.

5

Spoon on about 1/2 cup of the marinara sauce; spread it to the edges with the back of a spoon. Then top with about half of the grated mozzarella. Let the mozzarella go all the way to the edges.

6

Instead of scattering the potato and chorizo, cover this pizza with alternating rings of potato and chorizo. Start with a ring around the outside edge of potato slices, slightly overlapping the slices.

7

Do the same with the chorizo slices, working inward and overlapping the slices as you create the ring. Follow with another ring of potato slices; then chorizo. Finishing the layering with a few potato slices.

8

Sprinkle on about half of the remaining grated mozzarella then top with the stemmed and quartered pepperoncini peppers. Top the whole thing off with the last of the grated mozzarella.

9

Bake for about 20 minutes. Until the cheese is bubbling and browning, and the dough has puffed up a bit.
