Ingredients

• 1 lb Pizza dough
• 2 large Russet potatoes
• 2 tbsp Butter
• 3 tbsp Milk
• 1 cup Mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup Cheddar cheese
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
• 0.5 tsp Onion powder
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tbsp Water
• 2 tbsp Flour (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Peel and dice the russet potatoes into small chunks. Place them in a pot of salted water, bring to a boil, and cook until tender, about 15 minutes.

Step 3

Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter and milk, then mash until smooth and creamy. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 4

In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes with mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the filling.

Step 5

Dust your work surface with flour and roll out the pizza dough into a large, thin circle, about 12 inches in diameter.

Step 6

Spoon the potato and cheese mixture onto one half of the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 7

Fold the other half of the dough over the filling to form a semicircle. Press the edges tightly together, then crimp or fold them to seal completely.

Step 8

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush it over the top of the calzone for a golden finish.

Step 9

Transfer the calzone to the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and cooked through.

Step 10

Remove the calzone from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Slice into portions and serve warm.
