Mashed Potato Bacon Scallion Pizza

Mashed Potato Bacon Scallion Pizza

Ingredients

  • 1 16-ounce
    proofed pizza dough
  • Cornmeal as needed
  • 2 tablespoons
    olive oil
  • Black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons
    Asiago cheese, grated
  • 1 cup
    mashed potatoes (your recipe)
  • 7 ounces
    grated low moisture mozzarella
  • Heavy cream to taste
  • ½ cup
    chopped cooked bacon
  • ½ cup
    bias-cut green onion (1/8th-inch thick)
  • 1 tablespoon
    parsley, rosemary and thyme, mixed
  • Salt to taste

Preparation

Stretch pizza dough into a 16-inch circle and place on a cornmeal-dusted peel. Brush the dough with olive oil. Season with the black pepper and Asiago. Smooth mashed potatoes around the pizza, spreading all the way to the crust and top with the mozzarella. Drizzle generously with cream. Top with the bacon, scallions, parsley and salt.

Bake in the preheated 500 F oven until golden brown. Rotate the pizza halfway through cooking for even browning. Cut and serve. Makes four servings.
