Servings: 8
Prep Time: 15 Min.
Cook Time: 40 Min.
What you need:
(click + to add ingredients to your shopping list)
+ 1 tsp. salt
+ 1 tsp. freshly cracked black pepper
+ 4 Tbsp. cornstarch
+ 1-1/2 lb. IdahoŽ potatoes (about 4 medium), scrubbed
+ 3 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil, divided
+ 1/4 c. beef or chicken broth
+ 1/3 c. prepared basil pesto
+ 1 c. cooked, shredded chicken
+ 1 red bell pepper, seeded and cut into rings
+ 4 oz. crumbled reduced-fat feta cheese
+ 1/4 c. grated Parmesan cheese
+ 8-10 fresh basil leaves, torn into pieces
What to do:
1. Preheat oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, stir together the salt, pepper and cornstarch; set aside. Using a food processor or mandoline, slice potatoes very thinly and place them in a large mixing bowl. Sprinkle half of the cornstarch mixture over the potato slices; toss the potatoes, then sprinkle them with the remaining cornstarch mixture.
2. Brush 1 Tbsp. of the olive oil over a 12-in. round pizza pan. Layer the potatoes on the pan, overlapping the slices in concentric circles (cover the pan completely). Sprinkle the potatoes with the broth, brush them with the remaining oil, then press the potatoes down firmly with your clean hands to compact them into a crust. Move the oven rack to its lowest position, and bake the potato crust for 20-30 min., or until edges are browned and potatoes are tender.
3. Remove the potato crust from the oven and spread the pesto over the potatoes using a rubber spatula. Top the pizza with the cooked chicken, pepper rings, feta and Parmesan cheese. Return the pizza to the oven for another 10 min., or until feta is softened and the pizza is heated through. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with basil and cut into wedges. Use a spatula to loosen the potato crust from the pan.
