Santa Barbara Baker’s Epic Potato Pizza

If you’re ready to take one of pizza’s most celebrated toppings to the next level, Ooni Ambassador Jonathon Schuhrke (@santabarbarabaker) has a potato-forward recipe for you. This isn't a light pizza, nor is it meant to be. It’s hearty, starchy, cheesy goodness from the first to last bite.

Forget the red sauce here; this pizza is spuds-forward, with a rich, creamy ricotta mashed potato base topped with crispy roasted rosemary potatoes. Caramelized onions, sharp white cheddar cheese, mozzarella and chives amp up the flavor to the point of pure potato bliss. 

Comforting and satisfying, if potatoes aren’t already on your radar as a favorite topping, we’re pretty sure they will be after this bake.
