Pleasing potato pizza is delicious and distinctive pizza when a friend enjoyed it at a restaurant. It sounded great so I experimented to come up with my own recipe.

Ingredients 

3 large potatoes, peeled and cubed

1 tube (13.8 ounces) refrigerated pizza crust

1/4 cup milk

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 pound sliced bacon, diced

1 large onion, chopped

1/2 cup chopped sweet red pepper

1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese

1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded part-skim

mozzarella cheese

Sour cream, optional

Method 

Place potatoes in a saucepan and cover with water. 

Bring to a boil; cook for 20-25 minutes or until very tender.

Meanwhile, unroll the pizza crust onto an ungreased 14-in. pizza pan; flatten dough and build up edges slightly. Prick dough several times with a fork.

Bake at 350° for 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack.

Drain potatoes and transfer to a mixing bowl. Mash with milk and salt until smooth.

Spread over crust. In a skillet, partially cook the bacon. Add onion and red pepper; cook until bacon is crisp and vegetables are tender. Drain well; sprinkle over potatoes. Top with cheeses.

Bake at 375° for 20 minutes or until cheese is melted. Serve with sour cream if desired. Yield: 8 slices.
