Creating your own Loaded Baked Potato Pizza is an enjoyable process. Just follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

3. Boil Potatoes: In a medium pot, add the cubed potatoes and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 10-15 minutes.
4. Drain and Mash: Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot. Mash the potatoes until smooth, adding salt and pepper to taste.
5. Prepare Pizza Crust: While the potatoes are boiling, place the pre-made pizza crust on a baking sheet. Brush with olive oil for added flavor and crispiness.
6. Spread Mashed Potatoes: Evenly spread the mashed potatoes over the pizza crust, leaving a small border around the edges.
7. Add Toppings: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the mashed potatoes, followed by the crumbled bacon.
8. Bake the Pizza: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
9. Add Finishing Touches: Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven. Drizzle ranch dressing over the top and sprinkle with chopped green onions.
10. Cool and Slice: Allow the pizza to cool for about 5-10 minutes before slicing it into wedges.
