Mashed Potatoe Pizza

Yield: 8 slices.

• 3 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 1 tube (13.8 ounces) refrigerated pizza crust (I use a Boboli premade thin crust.)
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 pound sliced bacon, diced
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 1/2 cup chopped sweet red pepper (I usually add a little extra.)
• 1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
• 1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
• Sour cream, optional
  

Directions

• Place potatoes in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil; cook for 20-25 minutes or until very tender.
• Meanwhile, unroll the pizza crust onto an ungreased 14-in. pizza pan; flatten dough and build up edges slightly. Prick dough several times with a fork. Bake at 350° for 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack.
• Drain potatoes and transfer to a bowl. Mash with milk and salt until smooth. Spread over crust. In a skillet, partially cook the bacon. Add onion and red pepper; cook until bacon is crisp and vegetables are tender. Drain well; sprinkle over potatoes. Top with cheeses.
• Bake at 375° for 20 minutes or until cheese is melted. Serve with sour cream if desired.
