Roasted Potato Pizza

I had the day off today and I was being lazy when I woke up so I was browsing food blogs all morning. I was inspired by all the creativity I came across and wanted to make something different and fun. I saw a recipe for Roasted Potato Pizza on Food52.com and tweaked a bit for my pizza. In that recipe, they used goat cheese and olive oil as the sauce. I made a simple white sauce and used Cheddar, Gruyere and Monterey Jack cheese instead. You can even use Pepper Jack cheese instead of Gruyere. Instead of using pizza dough, I used frozen naan. We couldn't even taste the difference.

Potatoes

Ingredients

6 baby red potatoes - sliced
1/2 cup onion - sliced
3 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
3/4 tsp dried Rosemary
Sea salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste

Steps

1. Pre-heat the oven at 375º F.
2. Toss the potatoes, onions and EVOO in a mixing bowl and add rosemary, salt, and black pepper.
3. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil and spread the potato & onion mixture on the cookie sheet.
4. Bake for about 15 minutes. Toss the potato slices around half way through.
5. nce they're done, you can set them aside.

White Sauce

Ingredients

1 tbsp unsalted butter (you can use salted butter and skip on garlic salt)
1 tbsp all-purpose flour

a pinch of oregano

Steps

1. In a heavy bottom sauce pan, melt butter on medium heat.
2. Add all-purpose flour and keep stirring with a whisk for about 2 minutes. You will start noticing a change in color of the flour.
3. Add milk while whisking.
4. Constantly whisk the mixture until it thickens a bit. Then turn off the heat.
5. dd garlic salt or regular salt and oregano. And set aside.

2. Place naans on a lightly floured pizza pan.
3. Drizzle some EVOO on the naan so they don't get dry.
4. Spread the white sauce evenly on each piece of naan.
