Potato, Fennel and Watercress Pizza Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 pound pizza dough
• 1-2 medium potatoes, thinly sliced
• 1 small bulb of fennel, thinly sliced
• 2 cups watercress, washed and patted dry
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 450°F.
2. Roll out pizza dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
3. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and add garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
4. Add sliced potatoes and fennel to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and the fennel is caramelized, about 10-12 minutes.
5. Add salt and pepper to the skillet and stir to combine.
6. Spread the potato-fennel mixture over the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edge.
7. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the potato-fennel mixture.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the pizza crust is golden brown and crispy.
9. After removing the pizza from the oven, sprinkle watercress over the top and serve immediately.

Verdict:

This is a delicious and unique pizza option that combines the sweet, licorice flavor of fennel with the earthy flavors of potato and watercress. The combination of crispy potatoes, salty cheese, and fresh watercress is a perfect balance for a pizza topping. This is a great recipe for a family night or dinner party with friends.

Serving Suggestions:

This pizza is best served hot from the oven, but leftovers can be reheated in the oven or microwave. It’s great as a main course or served as an appetizer alongside a salad or vegetable dish. Pair it with a bottle of your favorite red or white wine for an even more enjoyable dining experience.
