Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Russet potatoes
- 1.5 cups Mozzarella cheese
- 0.75 cup Pizza sauce
- 12 pieces Pepperoni slices
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel the russet potatoes and use a box grater to shred them into fine pieces. Transfer the shredded potatoes to a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
In a large bowl, combine the shredded potatoes with 0.5 cup of the mozzarella cheese and the Italian seasoning. Mix until well combined.
Spread the potato mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in a round or rectangular shape, about 1/4-inch thick, to form the pizza crust.
Bake the potato crust in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until it turns golden brown and begins to crisp around the edges.
Remove the crust from the oven and spread the pizza sauce evenly over the top. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of mozzarella cheese over the sauce and arrange the pepperoni slices on top.
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
Allow the pizza to cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy your delicious Potato Crust Pizza!
