Creating Spicy Pierogi Pizza is an enjoyable process. Follow these steps to make your own masterpiece:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
2. Prepare Pizza Dough: Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer it to a greased baking sheet or pizza stone.
3. Mix Filling: In a bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, shredded cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper. Mix until well combined.
4. Spread Filling: Spoon the potato mixture evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
5. Add Toppings: If desired, sprinkle sauerkraut and crumbled bacon over the filling for added flavor.
6. Drizzle Oil: Lightly drizzle olive oil over the pizza to enhance the crust’s crispiness.
7. Bake: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
8. Cool: Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
9. Add Sour Cream: Drizzle sour cream over the top, adding a creamy, tangy flavor that complements the pizza beautifully.
10. Garnish: Finish with fresh chives or green onions for a pop of color and freshness.

Following these steps will lead you to an incredible dining experience with your Spicy Pierogi Pizza!
