My first crack at Pizza & Spinach Pie

Made a few different pies (pardon the lack of-round, had issues with the first pie sticking to the peel):  

First was my all-time favorite pie... thin crust Potato with roasted garlic & onions, bacon, green onions, and cheddar cheese (finished with sour cream... not pictured):



Second was a flatbred style margherita pizza with riccota & fresh mozzarella, sliced tomatoes, oregano & basil:



Since I had the Egg lit already, I also threw in a traditional Greek Spanakopita (spinach pie with phyllo):

    Wow, it all looks wonderful! For some reason, I have never had pizza with potatoes. Not that I recall anyway. But I LOVE potatoes so I really need to try one. A "carb pizza". :) Yours looks delicious!

    I wasn't familiar with spanakopita, but yours looked so good I had to look it up. Sounds great and looks simple to make. Not sure about the feta though. Not really a fan. Might try it anyway, or sub another cheese, maybe goat?

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    You can't really taste the feta once it's in there... unless you leave huge chunks of it.  The pita is considerably better tasting when everything comes right out of the garden!

    For my potato pizza, I first roasted garlic in the oven along with the potatoes, onions (seasoned with salt & pepper), and bacon at 400 for about 35 minutes (bacon took less time).  After I let them cool, I assembled the pizza.

    Rolled out the dough, rubbed it down with olive oil & a bunch of mashed cloves of the roasted garlic.  Tossed on some freshly graded cheddar cheese, along with the potatoes, roasted onions, & the bacon.  Finished it with the green onions and tossed it on the Egg @ 600 until it was done.  After letting it cool for a few minutes I threw on some sour cream.

    A local pizza place makes one similar to this and it's delicious.  I added the bacon and roasted garlic that they don't, and I'm glad I did.  I think i could live off roasted garlic, feta cheese, olives, and fresh bread (must be the Greek genes).

    Thanks for the lesson. Gotta try this, especially the pizza! Roasted garlic is awesome!!
