Ingredients
Scale
For the Pizza Base and Toppings
- 1 pre-made pizza dough
- 1 cup thinly sliced potatoes
- 4 ounces smoked salmon
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh dill
- 1 cup cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons capers
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 475°F (245°C) to ensure it reaches the optimal temperature for baking your pizza.
- Prepare the dough: Roll out the pre-made pizza dough on a floured surface until it’s evenly flattened, then transfer it carefully onto a baking sheet.
- Add olive oil and potatoes: Brush the dough with olive oil to enhance crispness, then evenly arrange the thinly sliced potatoes on top.
- Season and bake potatoes: Sprinkle salt and black pepper over the potatoes to season them, then bake the pizza base for 10-12 minutes until the potatoes are tender.
- Apply cream cheese layer: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and gently spread an even layer of cream cheese over the cooked potatoes to add creamy richness.
- Add smoked salmon and garnishes: Evenly distribute the smoked salmon slices on top of the cream cheese, sprinkle capers, and garnish with fresh dill.
- Final bake: Return the pizza to the oven for an additional 5 minutes to warm the toppings and meld the flavors together.
- Serve: Slice the pizza and serve immediately while warm for the best taste experience.
Notes
- For thinner or crispier potatoes, consider parboiling them briefly before slicing.
- Use fresh dill for a bright, herbal flavor; dried dill can be substituted if unavailable.
- The cream cheese can be softened before spreading to make it easier to apply smoothly.
- Capers add a salty bite—adjust the amount according to your preference.
- Serve with a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
