I was bound and determined to make this last night for dinner after work, and boy was it worth it!
The house smelled wonderful, the use of ALL of my favorite cheeses (fresh mozzarella, goat cheese and parmesan...on ONE pizza?) made it, and leeks sauteed in bacon grease have GOT to be one of life's pleasures.
My husband couldn't stop eating, and he made himself a little ill, actually  ...but he's back to eating the leftovers for breakfast and lunch, today, so I think that's a high recommendation!
If you have the cookbook, make this pizza. I looked on her website to see if she listed it, but I couldn't find it there...

| Hey Jonni! Has Just gained a lb or two with all of these goodies? I know for a while there he was barely eating. Sounds like you & PDub's "receipts" make for a happy Jus! |

I found this recipe is it similar to the Pioneer Womans recipe??
http://www.mytartelette.com
Potato Leek Pizza
6 slices thick bacon, cut into 1-in pieces
3 leeks, sliced thinly
Extra virgin olive oil
5 small red or Yukon Gold potatoes, sliced paper thin
16 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced thinly
4 oz crumbled goat cheese (I used twice that much:))
Parmesan cheese, grated
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Unbaked pizza crust
Preheat oven to 500 degrees
Begin by frying bacon pieces in a skillet over medium heat until cooked but not crisp. Remove bacon from pan and pour off most of the grease. Set bacon aside.
Return skillet to stove and turn heat to medium-low.
Slice leeks very thinly. A sharp knife helps.
Add leeks to the same pan and sauté over medium-low heat until soft, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Using a sharp knife or mandoline, slice potatoes very thin.
Prepare pizza crust according to directions, and drizzle lightly with olive oil. Sprinkle lightly with salt. Arrange potatoes in a single layer all over crust, slightly overlapping edges. Sprinkle potatoes lightly with salt, then lay mozzarella slices in a single layer over the top of the potatoes.
Place sautéed leeks over the top of the cheese.
Next, sprinkle the fried bacon pieces over the top, followed by a generous addition of crumbled goat cheese.
Finally, sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper.
Bake pizza for 8 to 11 minutes, or until edges of crust are golden brown and cheese is melted and bubbly. Cut into wedges or squares and serve immediately.
Pizza Crust
Makes two pizza crusts
1 ½ cups warm water
1 teaspoon active dry yeast
4 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Extra olive oil for drizzling
Pour warm water into a mixing bowl. Sprinkle yeast over the water.
Stir together flour, olive oil, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add water/yeast mixture and stir together until just combined. Dough will be very sticky.
Drizzle a little olive oil into a clean mixing bowl. Toss the ball of dough in the bowl and turn over to coat in oil. Cover bowl and place in a warm place for 1 to 2 hours, or cover in plastic wrap and store in the fridge for up to 2 days. |

Melody, that looks exactly like the pioneer woman's recipe...yep, in fact it is.
@Lisa~Jus has been eating nonstop since I got this cookbook (best gift he's given me, he said :))...I really find her recipes both tasty and easy, and after work, that's a GREAT combination! He ate all the remainder of this pizza last night (before dinner) and for lunch yesterday...so it was really good :)

I saw this in the cookbook and though it looked good but weird! Potatoes on pizza! Maybe I can work up the courage since you liked it so much!

Julie, I didn't even really "taste" them...they're sliced so thin, and the high temp (500) that you bake the pizza, combined with the cover of all the glorious cheeses just practically melts them. REALLY good...I know you'll like it :)

Nice treat for yourself,Michele! I think you'll really like the cookbook...it's lovely, it's funny and the food rocks. I make something from it once a week and my husband has been VERY grateful :)
