Instructions
Making Loaded Baked Potato Pizza is straightforward when you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 450°F (230°C).
2. Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into small cubes for quicker cooking.
3. Boil the Potatoes: Place the cubed potatoes in a pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until fork-tender, about 10-15 minutes.
4. Mash the Potatoes: Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add sour cream, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mash until creamy but still slightly chunky.
5. Roll Out the Pizza Crust: If using homemade dough, roll it out on a floured surface to your desired thickness. If using store-bought, follow the instructions for preparing the crust.
6. Spread the Mashed Potatoes: Spread the mashed potato mixture evenly over the pizza crust, leaving a small border around the edges.
7. Add Toppings: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and chopped green onions over the mashed potatoes.
8. Bake the Pizza: Place the prepared pizza in the preheated oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
9. Cool and Slice: Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
10. Serve: Serve warm, garnished with additional green onions, if desired.
