Servings:

Ingredients

• 1 pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
• 2 large russet potatoes, baked and mashed
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 4 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 🔁 Ingredient Notes & Swaps:
• Pizza dough: A refrigerated dough sheet works great, or use your favorite homemade dough.
• Potatoes: For extra creamy texture, mix mashed potatoes with a splash of milk or sour cream.
• Cheese: Mozzarella melts beautifully, but you can sub in sharp cheddar for baked potato authenticity.
• Bacon: Turkey bacon or plant-based bacon also work.
• Add-ins: Try green onions, sour cream drizzle, or even ranch seasoning in the filling.

• 3️⃣ Add the Fillings:
