Quick to prepare with only 20 minutes of hands-on time and ideal for serving up to four, this pizza will become your go-to for rustic-style comfort food packed with bold, familiar flavors.
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Place a pizza stone or an inverted baking sheet in the oven to heat up while you prepare the pizza.
Dust a clean surface with flour, and roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle or oval. Transfer the dough to a piece of parchment paper for easy handling.
Wash and thinly slice the russet potatoes into 1/8-inch rounds. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the potato slices, and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until they are lightly golden and partially cooked. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, crumble the Italian sausage and cook until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess grease and set the sausage aside.
Brush the rolled-out pizza dough with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Evenly sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and Parmesan cheese over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
Arrange the potato slices on top of the cheese in a single layer. Scatter the cooked sausage evenly over the potatoes.
Sprinkle fresh rosemary, salt, and black pepper over the toppings for added flavor.
Carefully transfer the parchment paper with the assembled pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is crisp and golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes. Slice into wedges and serve warm. Enjoy your Rustic Country Potato Sausage Pizza!
