Ingredients

• 1 pound pizza dough
• 2 pieces medium russet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 4 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
• 2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Wash, peel, and thinly slice the russet potatoes into evenly sized rounds, approximately 1/8-inch thick.

Step 3

Place the potato slices in a bowl and toss with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper until well coated.

Step 4

Lay the seasoned potato slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes until they are just tender but not fully cooked. Remove and set aside.

Step 5

Increase the oven temperature to 450°F (230°C).

Step 6

On another parchment-lined pizza pan or baking sheet, roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle.

Step 7

Brush the dough with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to create a light coating.

Step 8

Spread the sour cream over the dough in an even layer, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.

Step 9

Arrange the partially cooked potato slices on top of the sour cream layer, slightly overlapping as needed.

Step 10

Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly over the potatoes, followed by the cheddar cheese.

Step 11

Scatter the crumbled bacon across the top of the cheese layer.

Step 12

Bake the pizza in the oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 13

Remove the pizza from the oven and sprinkle the sliced green onions on top as a garnish.

Step 14

Let the pizza cool slightly for 2-3 minutes before slicing and serving immediately.
