Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Pizza dough
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary (optional)
- 0.5 cup Bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 3 stalks Green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Place a pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven to heat while you prepare the pizza.
Peel and chop the potatoes into evenly sized chunks. Boil them in salted water for about 15 minutes or until fork-tender.
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the butter, milk, 1 teaspoon of salt, and black pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to a 12-inch circle or to fit your pizza stone/sheet. Transfer the dough onto a piece of parchment paper for easy handling.
Brush the dough with olive oil and lightly sprinkle with garlic powder.
Spread an even layer of mashed potatoes over the dough, leaving about a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
Sprinkle the mozzarella and cheddar cheeses evenly over the mashed potatoes.
Top with crumbled bacon and chopped green onions. Add a sprinkle of fresh rosemary if desired for extra flavor.
Carefully transfer the parchment paper with the pizza onto the hot pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden and crispy and the cheese is bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Garnish with additional green onions or herbs, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
