Recipe: Pleasing Potato Pizza

PLEASING POTATO PIZZA

3 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 tube (10 ounces) refrigerated pizza crust
1/4 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 pound sliced bacon, diced
1 large onion, chopped
1/2 cup chopped sweet red pepper
1 1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
1 1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
Sour cream (optional, for serving)

Place potatoes in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and cook for 20-25 minutes or until very tender.

Meanwhile, unroll the pizza crust onto an ungreased 14-inch pizza pan; flatten dough and build up edges slightly. Prick dough several times with a fork.

Bake at 350 degrees F for 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack.

Drain potatoes and transfer to a mixing bowl. Mash with milk and salt until smooth. Spread over crust.

In a skillet, partially cook the bacon over medium heat.

Add onion and red pepper; cook until bacon is crisp and vegetables are tender. Sprinkle over potatoes. Top with cheeses.

Bake at 375 degrees F for 20 minutes or until cheese is melted.

Serve with sour cream if desired.
