With St. Patty's Day nearing and it being Lent there has been talk about potatoes on pizza. Both those things cast the topping in a particularly starchy light (think corned beef and potato pies—yeah that happens—or Polish pizza—aka pagache). But thinly sliced and adorned with rosemary, potatoes are a traditional pizza bianca topping at shops all over Rome. And there are lots of New Haven pizza fans that claim that Bar's mashed potato topped pie is their best.
What say ye? Potatoes on pizza: way or no way?
