Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Pizza dough
- 2 medium Potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 1 medium Onion
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 3 cups Fresh spinach
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons Sour cream
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Roll out the pizza dough onto a lightly floured surface, shaping it into a circle or rectangle depending on your preference. Place the dough onto a lightly greased baking sheet or pizza stone.
Peel and cube the potatoes, then boil them in a pot of salted water until fork-tender, about 10-12 minutes. Drain the potatoes and mash them with 2 tablespoons of butter, milk, salt, and black pepper until smooth. Set the mashed potatoes aside to cool slightly.
In a skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter and add the sliced onion. Sauté the onion until caramelized, about 10-12 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add olive oil and minced garlic. Sauté for 1 minute, then add the fresh spinach. Cook until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Spread the mashed potatoes evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Top with caramelized onions and sautéed spinach.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the toppings.
Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let the pizza cool for 2-3 minutes. Drizzle sour cream over the top or serve it on the side as a dipping sauce.
Slice and enjoy the Spinach Pierogi Pizza while warm!
