Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese
- 0.75 cup Pizza sauce
- 12 pieces Pepperoni slices
- 0.25 cup Red bell pepper (diced)
- 0.25 cup Sliced black olives
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 6 leaves Fresh basil leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the russet potatoes and grate them using a box grater. Transfer the grated potatoes to a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible.
Place the dried grated potatoes in a large bowl. Add salt and black pepper, and mix well to season evenly.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Scoop about 1/4 cup of the grated potato mixture and place it in the skillet, gently flattening it into a thin round shape. Cook 3-4 hash browns in batches, depending on the size of your skillet.
Cook the hash browns for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and set aside on a wire rack to keep the bottoms crisp. Repeat with the remaining potato mixture, adding another tablespoon of olive oil if needed.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the cooked hash browns on a lined baking sheet.
Spread about 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce on each hash brown. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly on top.
Top with your preferred pizza ingredients, such as pepperoni slices, diced red bell peppers, and sliced black olives. Sprinkle Italian seasoning over the top for extra flavor.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 7-10 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and is bubbly.
Remove the pizza hash browns from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with fresh basil leaves, if desired, and serve warm.
