Pizza tips and tricks
- Let your dough come to room temperature before using it for best results. I take mine out of the refrigerator one hour before using it.
- Make your own pizza dough! Here is my favorite recipe for pizza dough. You don’t have to let it sit for the full 72-hours, but it tastes much better if you do.
- The trick to the perfect pizza toppings is to use a mandolin to slice everything just the right thickness…and it saves so much chop time.

Equipment used in this recipe
Sauceless Potato Jalapeño Pizza with Garlic Sauce
Ingredients
- 1-2 lbs. Pizza dough or use one batch of my 72-hour pizza dough recipe
- 2 yukon gold potatoes sliced with a mandolin
- 1 jalapeño sliced with a mandolin
- 16 oz. mozzarella
- 2 oz. sheep’s milk feta
- 4 cloves garlic peeled
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- avocado oil or olive oil cooking spray
Instructions
- Blend 1/2 cup olive oil with the 4 cloves garlic in a blender or food processor. Set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 550. I recommend using a pizza stone or steel, but if you don't have one, just cook your pizza on a cookie sheet for a few minutes longer. Make sure the pizza steel is on the top rack.
- Prepare your dough per the package or per the recipe if you made your own. If it's your first time making pizza, spread it out on parchment paper in two rounds. The first round, place the dough in the center and press it down and toward the edges. Let it rest 10 minutes and do it again until you reach your desired level of thickness.
- Squeeze the mozzarella ball in a towel or paper towel to remove as much liquid as possible.
- Using a pastry brush, Lightly brush the pizzas with the olive oil and garlic mix you made in step 1.
- Layer the potato slices, spray with cooking spray, then add jalapeño slices.
- Evenly space mozzarella by ripping into small-medium pieces.
- Sprinkle the feta.
- Cook 3 minutes, rotate. Cook 2 minutes. Turn off oven and turn on broiler on high. Continue cooking while carefully watching. Will be ready in 1-2 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes before eating. In the meantime, repeat for the other 3 pizzas.
