Ingredients
For the pizza crust:
- 300 g potatoes or you can use any leftover mash from a previous meal, boiled and mashed
- 150 g cheese you can use any firm cheese (hard or semi-hard cheese like cheddar, Monterey Jack, etc, grated or crumbled
- 1 egg large
For the topping:
- 150 ml tomato sauce I used a store-bought one with added basil
- 200 g mozzarella cheese diced or grated
- basil fresh
- A few cherry tomato cut in half
- Any other toppings you desire
Instructions
- Mix the mashed potatoes with the egg and grated cheese until smooth.
- Stretch the "dough" in a baking pan lined with parchment paper. The mass should be about 1cm ( ~1/3 inch) thick.
- Bake for 25 minutes at 220 ºC/ 430 °F or until it becomes firm with a golden-brown crust. It should look like the one in the pictures below.
- After baking, remove the crust from the oven and spread the tomato sauce on top, add the mozzarella, tomatoes and basil. You can now add any other toppings you like.
- Bake for another 10-15 minutes at 220 ºC/ 430 °F or until the cheese has melted.
- Allow it to cool slightly for 5-10 minutes before slicing as the base will still be soft and slightly crumbly when hot.
- Enjoy!
