Smoked Potato Pizza
With Smoked Mozzarella Cheese, Fresh Cherry Tomatoes, and Six different kinds of Smoked Meats, on top of a Base made of Smoked Potatoes, Baked & Sliced & Pan Browned.
Didn't want to keep this hidden from you guys!!!
If you like Fried Taters, you'll love this Pizza Crust!!!
Here we go:
#1 Take 4 nice sized potatoes, and stick them in your smoker without heat for 2 hours, above a Hickory filled A-MAZE-N-SMOKER, lit on one end.
#2 Remove those smoked potatoes from the smoker and bake them.
#3 Let them cool awhile, and stick them in your fridge over night to cool & firm up.
#4 Remove Smoked Baked Potatoes from Fridge, and slice them into 1/2 thick slices.
#5 Put the slices in a Medium high frying pan with butter, until both sides of all of the slices are well browned & buttery (this could take a few batches).
#6 Lay out all of the slices that will fit in a circle on a Pizza pan. Cut little pieces of some of the smaller slices to fill in little voids between the larger slices.
#7 Take some of your smoked Mozzarella and grate it.
#8 Put as much of this grated cheese on the potato Pizza crust as it takes to hold it together, and broil it just long enough to melt the cheese.
#9 Partially fry any of the uncooked toppings you will use on the Pizza, like Belly & Buckboard Bacon (if it wasn't smoked to 145˚ IT), and set it aside.
#10 Now if you want to keep each topping separate, you will have to make your cuts now.
#11 Slice up enough cherry tomatoes to cover the whole pizza, and spread them out now.
#12 Spread a little more Smoked Mozzarella Cheese on top of the tomato slices.
#13 Now if you want to do it the way I did, cut & lay out on individual slices, Belly Bacon, Smoked Pepperoni, Canadian Bacon, Bear Loaf, Deer Sausage, and Buckboard Bacon.
#14 Spread the rest of the grated Smoked Mozzarella Cheese on the whole thing.
#15 Place in Oven at 350˚ until the top cheese is melted, and everything else is nice and warm.
#16 Remove from oven, and let the diners select which pieces they want.
Our son came up to have some, and the three of us ate 6 of the 8 slices for dinner. Another amazing thing is the next day I nuked the two left over pieces, and Mrs Bear & I ate them. They were just as good as they were the night before (Not dry or mushy)!
You don't have to do any of this exactly like I did. Try your favorite toppings.
BTW: If you want a hint as to what this tastes like (before you make your own)---Think of those Baked potato skins that they scoop out most of the potato, put cheese & bacon bits in, and bake it again. Now just think about using "Home Smoked Cheese" and a different kind of smoked meat on each slice.
Thanks,
Bear
