Potato Pizza Crust

(Makes 4 small pizzas)

Dough ingredients:

4 large potatoes 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon black pepper Olive oil just enough to help you shape the dough without sticking on your hands. Parchment paper

Pizza sauce:

1/2 a cup of tomato paste 2 tablespoons of ketchup 3 cloves of garlic chopped or pressed A pinch of salt A pinch of black pepper A pinch of chili flakes (optional) A teaspoon of olive oil

Pizza toppings:

Toppings are completely up to you. If you want the traditional margarita pizza then you will need some shredded cheese. If you want to add pepperoni or olives you can do that as well. You can thinly slice some mushroom, broccoli, and zucchini! Avocados and some greens are always a good idea. Just remember, fresh toppings such as green leafs and avocados do not go into the oven. You can add them when your pizza is ready to be served.

Method:

There are 4 very easy steps to make the dough or crust: Boil, Blend, Spread, and Bake! You will need to boil your potatoes until they are completely soften. peel the skin of the potatoes and blend in a food processor with salt and pepper. Now, if your potatoes turn into a gummy or glue like consistency, that’s perfect. Why do potatoes do that? Because of the starch potatoes contain. The more you work a potato the more gummy they become. Now that consistency is perfect for this recipe. So do not worry. If your potatoes do not turn gummy that’s also fine. It will still taste as good. Use the olive oil to help you remove the dough from the food processor and to spread it on to your parchment paper. Make 4 small sized pizzas and into a preheated oven on 150 for 10-15 minutes.

While the dough is baking.

All you have to do for the sauce is simply mix all the ingredients together. Take your pizza crust out of the oven after 10-15 minutes. Spread your sauce on the pizza crust. And your vegetables or cheese or whatever toppings you choose and back into the oven for 5-7 minutes. Make sure you keep an eye on your pizza at this point to prevent burning the crust.

Let the pizza cool for a bit, slice, and serve.
