Ingredients- 4 medium potatoes
- 2 slices of cheese (e.g., American cheese)
- 1 handful of mozzarella cheese (approx. 50g)
- 1 strip of bacon
- 2 tablespoons canned sweet corn
- 1/2 small onion
- 4 button mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons store-bought tomato sauce
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, wash the 4 potatoes thoroughly. Slice them into half-moon shapes about 0.5cm thick. Place the sliced potatoes in a microwave-safe dish, cover with plastic wrap, and microwave for 4-5 minutes until tender. This will make them easier to mash.
Step 2
Next, set aside 8 potato slices (about 1 potato’s worth) to be used as toppings. Place the remaining cooked potatoes in a bowl.
Step 3
Mash the potatoes in the bowl using a fork or potato masher until smooth. For flavor, add a pinch of salt, a pinch of sugar, and a little pepper using a coffee spoon, then mix well. (Adjust amounts to your preference.)
Step 4
Add 1 tablespoon of sweet corn to the mashed potato mixture (reserve the other tablespoon for topping) and mix well. The sweet corn enhances the richness of the potatoes.
Step 5
Now, add a handful of mozzarella cheese to the mixture to give it a chewy texture, and mix thoroughly with the mashed potatoes. The cheese will melt and create a delicious base.
Step 6
Spread the mixed potato mixture evenly in your pizza dish (a plate or bowl) using a spoon to form the pizza crust. Aim for an even thickness, not too thick.
Step 7
Spread 2 tablespoons of tomato sauce evenly over the potato base. It’s a good idea to leave a small border around the edge sauce-free.
Step 8
Sprinkle the finely chopped 1/2 onion evenly over the tomato sauce. The natural sweetness of the onion adds depth to the pizza’s flavor.
Step 9
Thinly slice the 4 cleaned button mushrooms and gently arrange them on top of the chopped onions. The subtle aroma of the mushrooms enhances the overall taste.
Step 10
Cut 1 strip of bacon into bite-sized pieces. Arrange the cut bacon evenly over the mushrooms. The savory saltiness of the bacon balances the flavors of the entire pizza.
Step 11
Place the 8 pre-cooked potato slices, which you set aside earlier, attractively on top of the bacon. These potato pieces will make the pizza look even more appetizing.
Step 12
Cut the 2 slices of cheese into approximately 9 equal pieces (about 3×3 cm each). These cheese pieces will add richness to the pizza.
Step 13
Arrange the cut cheese pieces evenly over the pizza, covering the gaps. As the cheese melts, it will help bind all the ingredients together.
Step 14
Finally, sprinkle another handful of mozzarella cheese over the pizza as desired. Then, microwave for 4 minutes. This will melt the cheese and meld all the ingredients together.
Step 15
Once removed from the microwave, your ‘Scoopable Potato Pizza’ is ready! It’s warm on the outside, moist and tender on the inside, with a wonderfully chewy texture. Enjoy every spoonful!
