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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

Peel and chop the potatoes into evenly sized chunks. Boil them in salted water for about 15 minutes or until fork-tender.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Brush the dough with olive oil and lightly sprinkle with garlic powder.

Step 6

Spread an even layer of mashed potatoes over the dough, leaving about a 1/2-inch border around the edges.

Step 7

Sprinkle the mozzarella and cheddar cheeses evenly over the mashed potatoes.

Step 8

Top with crumbled bacon and chopped green onions. Add a sprinkle of fresh rosemary if desired for extra flavor.

Step 9

Carefully transfer the parchment paper with the pizza onto the hot pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven.

Step 10

Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden and crispy and the cheese is bubbly.

Step 11

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 12

Garnish with additional green onions or herbs, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
