In college I used to LOVE Pizzeria Uno’s mashed potato pizza. This is an ode to the days of old….
Serves: Up to 8 Prep time: 20 minutes Cook time: 25 minutes
1 store bought pizza crust
1 bag frozen Ore-Ida potatoes
1/2 cup milk
2 T butter
2 T parmesan cheese
S&P
1 pound bacon, chopped
1 onion, diced
8 oz mushrooms, sliced
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
chopped parsley, for garnish
chopped scallions, for garnish
sour cream
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Unroll your pizza dough and stretch it out over a large baking pan, or you can roll it out into a ball and make a round pizza if you like. Poke a couple of holes into the dough with a fork and bake the uncovered dough for 10 minutes. While your dough cooks place your potatoes in the microwave and cook on high for 10 minutes. Pour potatoes into a bowl and add milk, butter, parmesan cheese, and season with S&P. Mash well and set aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium high heat and brown your bacon until just crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside. In the bacon drippings saute onion, mushrooms and garlic until soft, about 7 minutes.
Remove crust from oven and spread out your potato mixture to cover leaving a one inch border for your crust. Top potatoes with mushrooms onion and garlic mixture. Then sprinkle on cheese to cover well. Top with bacon.
Return pizza to oven and cook for an additional 10 minutes. Slice it up and top with sour cream and parsley or chopped scallions. Serve as an appetizer or with a salad for a main meal.
