Here is another delicious recipe from Emeril!

For this recipe, you will need 15 medium red potatoes, chicken broth, garlic cloves, butter, heavy whipping cream, salt, black pepper, sautéed onions, 3 small tomatoes, shredded provolone cheese, shredded fontina, bacon, cracked pepper, bread flour, one package of active dry yeast, vegetable oil, and onion salt.

To prep for this recipe, you will need to cut the tomatoes into thin slices. Cook four ounces of bacon in a skillet or microwave until crisp. Once you have let it drain and cool, crumble it. Peel six garlic cloves. Saute four ounces of onions.

First, make the basic pizza dough. In a large bowl, combine 3 cups of bread flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, and one package of active dry yeast. Stir in 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil and 1 cup of warm water. Cover the bowl with a towel and wait 30 minutes for the dough to rise.

In a large saucepan, add the 15 red potatoes, one 14.5-ounce can of chicken broth, and 6 large garlic cloves. Pour just enough water over this to submerge the potatoes. Bring the water to a boil then reduce to low. Let it cook for 25 to 30 minutes - until the potatoes are tender.

Once they are done, drain the water/broth and mash the potatoes and garlic cloves. Add 4 tablespoons of butter, 2 teaspoons of salt, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, and 3/4 cup of heavy whipping cream. Whip until creamy.

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees with a pizza stone. Roll out the dough on a floured surface until it is about 1/4 inch thick. Place the dough on a pizza pan. Spread the garlic mashed potatoes evenly over the dough. Sprinkle the sauteed onions over the mashed potatoes. Add a layer of the sliced tomatoes. Sprinkle four ounces of shredded provolone then four ounces of shredded fontina. Top with the crumbled bacon, 1 teaspoon of cracked pepper, and 1 teaspoon of onion salt. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes.
