Potato, Onion, and Tuna Pizza

The potato, onion, and tuna pizza is a type of white pizza that is a must-try.

It is characterized by the goodness of the potatoes, which following my recipe, will be soft and delicious, combined with the bold flavor of tuna and other ingredients.

Ideal for serving at a rustic dinner, it is an excellent alternative to the classic pizza with sauce or tomatoes, and if you prefer, you can also prepare it without adding cheese, maybe seasoning with rosemary or oregano, and it will still be very good.

I guarantee that both adults and children will love it so much that you will hardly have any left over.

Potato, Onion, and Tuna Pizza
  • Difficulty: Easy
  • Cost: Affordable
  • Preparation time: 20 Minutes
  • Portions: 4
  • Cooking methods: Oven
  • Cuisine: Italian

Ingredients

  • pizza dough (made with 450 grams of flour)
  • 5 potatoes (medium)
  • 8.5 oz tuna (canned)
  • 1.5 oz spring onions (about 3)
  • 4 black olives
  • 1 scamorza (white, 8 oz)
  • to taste extra virgin olive oil
  • to taste fine salt
  • to taste black pepper (freshly ground)

Tools

  • 1 Baking Pan for pizza 12 x 15 inches
  • 1 Mandoline
  • 1 Peeler

Preparation

  • To prepare the potato, onion, and tuna pizza, start by cleaning the potatoes with a potato peeler and slicing them with the mandoline, then place them in a bowl of water.



    In the meantime, place a pan with enough water on the stove to quickly blanch the sliced potatoes, when it boils add the salt and a couple of tablespoons of olive oil.

    Pour in the potatoes and cook for about 3-4 minutes after boiling, then drain gently and let them cool on a plate.

    With oiled hands, now roll out the prepared pizza dough, according to the basic recipe, on a sheet of parchment paper lightly dusted with semolina flour.

    Arrange the now-cooled potatoes gently on the base, add the onion sliced into rings, the olives pitted and chopped, fine salt, olive oil, freshly ground black pepper.

    Bake at 392°F (200°C), on the lower-middle rack of the preheated oven.

    I generally use a static oven, but if you prefer to use it in fan mode, keep the temperature at 356°F (180°C) and be careful that the onions don’t burn due to the circulating hot air, which quickly dries out the thinnest and most delicate parts.

    After about 15 minutes, if sufficiently golden underneath, raise the pizza to a higher rack so that the top is more exposed to the heat, just move it to the middle rack.

    Lower the temperature to 356°F (180°C).

    After 10 minutes from this operation, remove the pizza from the oven, add tuna and scamorza, and bake again until the cheese melts.

    At this point, remove from the oven; our potato and tuna pizza is ready.

    Enjoy it piping hot, adding a drizzle of raw olive oil if desired.

Welcome to my blog "lericettediminu". I am Carmen D'Angelo, a Sicilian with a great love for cooking. I particularly enjoy making desserts, where I can best express my personal inclination not only for taste but also for beauty. It was my mother, Enza, who passed her passion for cooking on to me, and I try to honor her teachings by always striving to improve and deepen my knowledge. I am not a professional in the field, but having cooked since I was a child and read extensively on the subject, I believe I have gained a certain experience through practice. I am a wife and a mother in love with her family, and I created this blog to virtually welcome anyone who wishes to join me within the walls of my kitchen, which to me is a true treasure trove of flavor and emotions.
