Number Of Ingredients 15

1 tablespoon plus 1 cup yellow cornmeal
3/4 cup water
3 1/4 cups boiling water
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
1 large sweet onion (Maui or Walla Walla), cut in half, thinly sliced (3 cups)
1 tablespoon sugar
1 cup refrigerated homestyle sliced potatoes (from 20-oz bag)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup pizza sauce
1 cup shredded fontina cheese (4 oz)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano leaves

Steps:

  • Spray large cookie sheet with cooking spray; sprinkle with 1 tablespoon cornmeal. In 2-quart saucepan, mix 1 cup cornmeal and 3/4 cup water. Stir in 3 1/4 cups boiling water and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Cook over medium heat about 4 minutes, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and boils.
  • Reduce heat. Cover; simmer about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until very thick. Remove from heat. Stir in olive oil until smooth. Spread hot polenta in 11-inch round on cookie sheet. Cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate at least 1 hour or until very firm.
  • Meanwhile, in 10-inch nonstick skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion and sugar; cook 15 to 20 minutes, stirring frequently, until deep golden brown and caramelized. In 7-inch skillet, cook potatoes in hot vegetable oil as directed on package; season with 1/8 teaspoon salt and the pepper.
  • Heat oven to 450°F. Bake crust 20 minutes. Spread pizza sauce over crust; spoon caramelized onions evenly over sauce. Top with potatoes and cheese. Bake 8 to 10 minutes longer or until cheese is melted and potatoes are tender. Sprinkle with oregano.
