Loaded Baked Potato Pizza Recipe
Baked Potato Pizza is the most delicious pub-style dinner that's easy to make at home. This family-friendly recipe is a great way to use up those few extra potatoes you have in your pantry.
Ingredients
- 1 ball homemade pizza dough, or store-bought 1 pound
- Nonstick cooking spray
- 7 baby gold potatoes about 1-1/4 pounds, thinly sliced (1 large russet potato will also work)
- Kosher salt and ground black pepper
- 3 garlic cloves thinly sliced
- 3 slices oven baked bacon roughly chopped
- 4 ounces sharp Cheddar cheese shredded
- 3 green onions thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons sliced jalapeño peppers fresh or jarred
- ¼ cup ranch dressing
Instructions
- Place pizza stone in oven and preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Toss and stretch pizza dough into a 14-inch circle. Once oven is preheated, carefully remove pizza stone from oven and spray with cooking spray. Carefully place dough on stone. Place potato slices on top of dough in a circular pattern. Transfer to oven and bake 8 minutes.
- Remove from oven. Season potatoes with salt and pepper. Evenly distribute garlic, bacon and cheese over potatoes. Return to oven for 6 minutes or until potatoes are tender and bottom of crust is golden brown.
- Top pizza with onions and jalapeño peppers and drizzle with ranch. Cut and serve immediately.
Notes
- You’ll want to cook just the pizza crust, topped with the sliced potatoes, for 8 minutes before adding any of the other toppings. This allows the potatoes to cook long enough to become tender.
- I like to buy a block of cheese and shred it myself vs. buying pre-shredded cheese for this baked potato pizza. I think cheese that you shred yourself melts better!
- Make sure you season the potatoes with salt and pepper in step 3. You don’t want to salt them in step 2, because the salt will bring all the moisture out of the potatoes too soon, and you’ll end up with a wet pizza crust. But once the potatoes have had a chance to cook a little, you’ll want to season them well in step 3, for the best flavor.
