White Potato Pizza

Directions

1. 1
   Heat the oven as hot as it goes (500-550) with a pizza stone in the lower third for about 1 hour.
2. 2
   Bring a pot of very salted water to boil and add the sliced potatoes for 5-7 minutes until tender. Drain and return to the pan over low heat to remove the extra moisture. Toss with the olive oil, rosemary, and salt to taste.
3. 3
   Roll out the pizza dough very thin on top of a piece of parchment paper.
4. 4
   Spread with the ricotta and top with the potatoes.
5. 5
   Sprinkle the cheese on top. Slide onto the pizza stone, parchment paper and all.
6. 6
   Bake for 10 minutes until golden brown and crisp. If you have a convection oven, I typically turn it on as soon as I put the pizza in the oven.
7. 7
   Remove from oven. Add a few dots of ricotta, drizzle with olive oil, and a sprinkle of good salt.
8. 8
   To make the ricotta: Mix the ingredients in a medium pot over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the curds begin to separate between 175-200 degrees. Pour into a colander lined with two layers of cheesecloth for about 5 minutes. Then gather up the cheesecloth and hold up and let drain for another minute or two. Dump into a bowl and season to taste with salt.
