But, the best part might just be the thinly sliced potatoes on top that turn melt-in-your-mouth tender as this cheesy pizza bakes. Drizzle the pie with ranch and you've got a homemade pizza you'll keep on heavy rotation. Make sure to have some crushed red pepper, grated Parm, and freshly chopped parsley on hand for your crew to sprinkle on top as the pizza comes out of the oven. Ingredients 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided, plus more for brushing 2 pounds refrigerated pizza dough, at room temperature 2 large cloves garlic, thinly sliced 1 medium shallot, thinly sliced 12 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, roughly torn 6 ounces thick-cut ham, chopped 2 handfuls baby spinach 12 ounces Yukon Gold potatoes (about 4 potatoes), cut into 1/8-in. slices Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper Ranch dressing, crushed red pepper, freshly grated Parmesan, and chopped flat-leaf parsley, for topping Directions Preheat oven to 450°F. Coat a rimmed half-sheet pan with 2 tablespoons oil. Add dough and press it all the way to edges of pan. (If the dough starts to fight you as you press it, leave it to sit for 10 to 15 minutes so the gluten can relax, then go at it again.) Brush top with a thin, even layer of oil. Scatter on garlic, shallot, mozzarella, ham, and spinach. (Scatter the cheese all the way to the edges so you get some crispy bits!) Toss potatoes with remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large bowl. Arrange in an even layer on pizza, doing your best to avoid overlapping them. Sprinkle with a good pinch of salt and lots of pepper. Bake until crust is golden and cheese is brown in parts, 25 to 30 minutes. (If you'd like a little more color on the potatoes, stick the pizza under the broiler for a few minutes, watching carefully so it doesn't burn.) Top with a drizzle of dressing, crushed red pepper, loads of Parm, and parsley, then cut into big squares. Rate it Print
