Potato pizza pie




Potato pizza was something introduced to me 3 years ago by a coworker. This is an Italian dish that is equally as good as its tomato sauced counterpart but not as well known. It is easy to make, great for sharing and aesthetically pleasing. I made this twice over the weekend and it was a hit amongst my friends.

INGREDIENTS:
pizza dough (I used store bought whole wheat) OR you can buy ready made pies
1/2 a cup of finely chopped onions
1/2 of a potato sliced thinly
salt, pepper to taste
rosemary to taste
sliced fresh mozzarella cheese
sliced gorgonzola cheese

DIRECTIONS:
Preheat your oven for 10 minutes at 250 F.
1. Saute potatoes and onions in a skillet with olive oil until lightly browned, add salt and pepper, let it cool
2. On pizza dough, drizzle with olive oil
3. Spread cheeses evenly, or in a pattern on pizza dough
4. Sprinkle rosemary on top
5. Arrange and place potatoes and onions on top.
6. Top with more cheese if desired. Sprinkle on a bit more rosemary.
7. Bake in oven at 350 F for 20 minutes.

Happy (re) birthday


The Epicurious Diva: One Meal at a Time

This was my one of five birthday cakes from my 26th birthday. My sister bought me this one. The rebirth of my food blog is worthy of a b-day cake photo. I have forgotten how much I love to cook and invent recipes. Just thinking about all the culinary creations that I want to try out is making me excited and happy. Happy Rebirth, Epicurious Diva!

I'm back and I missed you.


The Epicurious Diva: One Meal at a Time

Hello, how I've missed you. Forgive me for the neglect. Anyway, don't cry, I'm back and here to share more recipes, musings and rants with you.

This photo was taken during my stay at Mwaybe Safari and Hotel in Uganda. It was the first time I've had passion fruit and it tasted exactly like how I imagined it to. It was the perfect balance of sweet and tart and had a unique taste, unlike any other.

I'm glad to be back.
