The inspiration behind this recipe:

My stepchildren and I had difficulty bonding when my husband and I married.  A stepmom isn’t exactly every child’s dream.  However, one of the things we started doing to have some fun and just relax as a blended family was “Make Your Own Pizza” night.  We would get all the fixings together and then use flatbread, pitas, or naans for the crust so everyone could create their pizzas.  We all had a great time!

Thanks to a recent MYOP night, I remembered we had several packages of naan in the freezer.  It’s so perfect as a quickie pizza crust!

How to Make Potato Flatbread:

Here’s all you do for this potato flatbread pizza….

  • Roast potato slices in extra-virgin olive oil, salt and pepper and plenty of fresh rosemary until tender but not browned or to crispy. The center should still be creamy.

  • Spread pesto over the naan.  I used Radish Greens Pesto, which we had in our freezer.  Radish season is coming up, so be sure to make some!  It’s perfect on this potato flatbread!  I’m not so sure basil pesto would work, as basil and rosemary don’t make a great combination.  However, you could use kale or spinach pesto.
  • Top with smoked Mozzarella (or smoked Provolone or smoked Gouda), red onion slices, the roasted potatoes, a bit more cheese and….

    This pizza was amazing! I found it the perfect use of your radish top pesto which I just made, since it mellows out the sharpness. I don’t eat dairy so I used my favorite cashew mozzarella and this was perfect. My family loves it as well! Thanks.
