Baked Potato Pizza

I have been craving baked potato pizza every night. A local restaurant serves a small one as an appetizer but at $6, that could get pretty expensive!

Baked Potato Pizza

Pillsbury Thin Crust Pizza Dough
3 medium potatoes, baked and cooled
3 tablespoons butter, melted
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dry Italian Seasoning
1/2 cup Sour Cream
1/2 cup Ranch Dressing
3 Green Onions, chopped
1 1/2 cups Mozzarella Cheese, shredded
1/2 cup Cheddar Cheese, shredded

Prepare crust according to package directions. Press dough into a lightly greased 14-in. pizza pan; build up edges slightly. Before adding toppings, bake at 400 degrees F for 5-6 minutes or until crust is firm and begins to brown. Adding - Pillsbury pizza crust rolls out in a rectangle, we shaped it into a circle to fit the pizza pan.

Cut potatoes into 1/2-in. cubes. In a bowl, combine butter, garlic powder and Italian seasoning. Add potatoes and toss. Mix Sour Cream and Ranch, spread over crust; top with potato mixture, bacon, onions and cheeses. Bake at 400 degrees F for 10 - 15 minutes or until cheese is lightly browned. Let stand for 5 minutes before cutting.

My notes - After putting the potatoes over the sour cream/ranch mixture, I sprinkled some bacon bits and onion over the potato before laying on the cheese. Then I put on a good amount of mozzarella, some cheddar, and then a good amount of bacon bits along with the rest of the onion. Then the rest of the cheese went on. You can use as much or as little as you like when it comes to the bacon bits, its all to taste! Next time I am going to try adding some broccoli and see how that turns out!
