Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 medium potatoes, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/2 cup crème fraîche or sour cream
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (plus more for garnish)
- 4 oz smoked salmon, sliced
- 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon capers (optional)
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped (for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a pizza stone if you have one.
- Prepare the Potatoes: In a small bowl, toss the thinly sliced potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well coated.
- Assemble the Pizza Base: Roll out the pizza dough onto the prepared baking sheet or pizza stone. If using store-bought dough, follow the package instructions for size and thickness.
- Pre-bake the Crust: If using a pizza stone, pre-bake the crust for about 5 minutes until it’s just starting to turn golden and firm up. If using a baking sheet, proceed directly with the next step.
- Layer the Potatoes: Arrange the sliced potatoes evenly over the pizza dough, pressing them down slightly. If you like, sprinkle a little mozzarella cheese over the potatoes for extra melty goodness.
- Bake the Pizza: Place the pizza in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the crust is golden and crispy.
- Prepare the Creamy Sauce: While the pizza bakes, in a small bowl, mix the crème fraîche (or sour cream), softened cream cheese, and chopped dill until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Assemble the Toppings: Once the pizza has finished baking, remove it from the oven. Immediately spread the creamy sauce over the pizza, leaving a small border around the edges. Arrange the smoked salmon slices, red onion, and capers (if using) on top of the creamy sauce.
- Garnish and Serve: Drizzle with lemon juice for a fresh touch, and garnish with fresh dill and chives. Slice and serve immediately!
Notes
- You can use different types of cheese, like goat cheese or ricotta, for a different flavor profile.
- For a crispier potato texture, you can par-cook the potato slices in the microwave or a skillet before adding them to the pizza.
- If you want a non-dairy version, use a dairy-free cream cheese and sour cream substitute.
- If you’re not a fan of capers, you can replace them with olives or even a few pickled onions.
