My BF owns a pizzeria, so when I told him that I was making a potato pizza for dinner he was skeptical. I used the pizza dough from his restaurant and baked this pizza on two unglazed terra cotto tiles (purchased for $2 at Home Depot) as I don't have a pizza stone at home. This pizza is fantastic!! The seasoning is so good and it different from the normal pepperoni pizza. This was a definite winner for my BF who knows his pizza! Thank you for posting this innovative and fun recipe.

This was FANTASTIC!! We just couldn't believe how good this pizza was. I did change the ingredient for the pizza crust and used the Jiffy Pizza Crust mix and instead of using a 1/2c hot water, I heated a 1/2c of Miller Beer and used it for the liquid. I also added half cheddar and half Mozzarella Cheese on top of pizza. MAN! was the crust delicious let alone the rest of the ingredients on the pizza. YUM! This is a KEEPER for sure :) Thanks for sharing the recipe.

I love pizza made with non-traditional ingredients. This one was extremely good. Very cheesy; the potatoes were seasoned nicely and so tender. Comfort food upon comfort food--thanks for posting.
