1
If the dough has been refrigerated, transfer it to the countertop to let it rise for about 1 hour before making pizza.
-
2
Preheat the oven to 500F.
-
3
In a large cast-iron skillet, toss the potato slices with the water, oil, salt, and pepper.
-
4
Cover the skillet tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, until the potatoes are soft but not browned.
-
5
Transfer the potatoes to a plate.
-
6
Preheat the broiler with the rack set 5 inches from the element or flame.
-
7
If you are using a cast-iron skillet or griddle pan for the pizza, set it over medium-high heat until it gets smoking hot, about 15 minutes.
-
8
Transfer the skillet (turned upside down) or griddle pan to the broiler.
-
9
If you are using a baking stone, heat it in a 500F oven for an hour, then carefully transfer it to the broiler.

To shape the dough, dust a work surface liberally with flour and put the ball of dough on it.
-
11
Sprinkle with flour and knead a few times until the dough comes together and holds its shape when you form it into a ball.
-
12
Add more flour if necessary.
-
13
Form it into an 8-inch round by pressing from the center out toward the edges, leaving a 1-inch border thicker than the rest.
-
14
Make sure you have all the topping ingredients measured out and ready before you assemble the pizza, because once you place the dough on the cooking surface you cant easily move it.
-
15
Open the oven or broiler door, quickly slide out the rack with the cooking surface (skillet, griddle pan, or baking stone) on it.
-
16
Pick up the dough and quickly transfer it to the cooking surface, pressing it back into shape if need be, while being careful not to touch the cooking surface with your fingers.
-
17
Layer the potato rounds on top of the dough, leaving the 1-inch margin bare, and plop dabs of ricotta here and there.
