Get the Hot Potato Sicilian Pizza Recipe
This pizza can be made several ways. My favorite is a Sicilian.
Potatoes are amazing on pizza. The combination of Applewood smoked bacon, buttermilk Ranch, Calabrian & piquante peppers bursts with flavors. I know Ranch is like pineapple — it can be a sacrilegious ingredient to some operators — but if it sells, it sells. I may be a traditionalist, but when it comes to certain pizzas I’m always willing to be adventurous. Maybe that’s the California approach in cooking. It could be anything or everything as long as it tastes good, using quality ingredients. By the way, this pizza is delicious.
