Pizza Toppings

smag,
Do you cook the potatoes first? I would think you'd have to.

Thanks to all of you for some great ideas and links.

Lately I've been eating pizza with dollops of mascarpone cheese added to some of the other cheeses I decide to use and top it with selections of American style ham, Prosciutto, thin slices of salami, pepperoni (basically meat antipasti's) and top it off with rocket.

I'm not sure. We had it once in a pizzeria near our old place. It was fabulous. The one time I tried to recreate it home, was not able to achieve the same results. The potatoes where too crisp almost hard..pan fried them in oil and then layered them. Maybe raw red potatoes might work better. Still on the look out for a good potato pizza recipe.

When I order a pizza, my fave toppings are mushrooms, onions, & black olives (w the usual tomatoes & mozzarella). For homemade, I've been experimenting with salad topped pizza, i.e. caesar or spinach salad (drizzle the salad dressing over the crust & sprinkle w fresh grated parmesan & bake - then top w your salad), BLT & avacado, shrimp scampi, mascarpone/smoked salmon/green onions, Asian (peanut sauce & chicken), or an eggplant parm pizza. Pretty much anything that you can place on a sammie or in a salad will work. Have fun with it.

Oooh, avacado sounds really good on pizza! I'm going to try that next time.

I've also had a good Mexican pizza at some restaurant in Twin Falls, Idaho. They had cilantro , jalepenos, crushed tortilla chips, salsa...I can't remember what else, black beans maybe.

That's it! Hubby just went out of town and it's too cold and snowy to walk around in the snow. I'm making a pizza for myself tonight and topping it with mozzarella, mushrooms, tomatos, onions, olives, and jalapenos. I love bacon, too, but I might forgo that. Since we like crispy crusts I put mine on the bottom rack of the oven at 450F preferably on a pizza stone or pizza pan with holes. 5-7 minutes about does it.
