1

Prepare the Potato Toppings

Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash and scrub 2 large russet potatoes, then poke several holes in them with a fork. Place the potatoes on a baking sheet and bake for about 50-60 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork. Allow them to cool slightly, then cut them into small cubes.

2

Prepare the Pizza Crust

While the potatoes are baking, it's time to prepare the pizza crust. You can either use a store-bought pizza crust or make your own from scratch. Roll out the dough to your desired thickness and shape, then transfer it to a pizza stone or baking sheet.

3

Spread the Sour Cream Sauce

In a small bowl, mix together 1/2 cup sour cream, 1 tablespoon mayonnaise, 1 clove of minced garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Spread this sauce evenly over the pizza crust, leaving a small border around the edges.

4

Add the Potato Toppings

Now it's time to load up your pizza with those delicious potato toppings! Sprinkle the cooked and cubed potatoes over the sour cream sauce, making sure to distribute them evenly. Feel free to add extra toppings like cooked bacon, green onions, and shredded cheddar cheese.

5

Bake the Pizza

Pop your loaded pizza into the preheated oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the toppings are nicely melted. Keep an eye on it to avoid burning!

6

Finish with Tasty Extras

Once your pizza is out of the oven, give it a final touch of flavor. Drizzle some ranch dressing or sprinkle some fresh chopped parsley on top. Slice it up and get ready to enjoy a unique twist on a classic baked potato!
