Ingredients
Scale
- Dough for one large pizza
- 5 small Yukon Gold potatoes
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp whipped cream cheese
- 2 tbsp sour cream
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 cups (6 oz) cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 8 slices bacon (cooked and crumbled)
- Fresh chives (chopped)
- Sour cream for topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface until about 12 inches in diameter. Transfer to a baking sheet or pizza stone.
- Peel and chop the Yukon Gold potatoes into chunks. Place in salted boiling water and cook until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- Drain the boiled potatoes, return to pot, and add butter, whipped cream cheese, sour cream, and salt. Mash until creamy and smooth.
- Spoon the mashed potatoes evenly over the pizza crust, spreading to the edges.
- Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the mashed potatoes, add crumbled bacon, and finish with fresh chives.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, until cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, slice, and serve with a dollop of sour cream and reserved chives.
Notes
Can be made ahead of time by storing dough and mashed potatoes separately in the fridge. Assemble and bake when ready.
