POTATO CRUST BREAKFAST PIZZA RECIPE BY TASTY



Potato Crust Breakfast Pizza Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: frozen hash brown, large eggs, garlic powder, onion powder, kosher salt, dried oregano, olive oil, shredded monterey jack cheese, breakfast sausage, large eggs, kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, scallions, hot sauce

Provided by Betsy Carter

Categories     Breakfast

Time 50m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

30 oz frozen hash brown
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons onion powder
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon dried oregano
olive oil, for brushing
¾ cup shredded monterey jack cheese
6 oz breakfast sausage, cooked and drained
3 large eggs
kosher salt, to taste
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 scallions, thinly sliced, for garnish
hot sauce, to taste, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 500ºF (260ºC).
  • Make the crust: In a large microwave-safe bowl, microwave the hash browns on high power for 5-6 minutes, until you can separate the shredded potato pieces with your fingers but they still hold their shape.
  • Transfer the shredded potatoes to a clean dish towel set over a medium bowl. Wring the towel to squeeze any excess liquid from the potatoes.
  • Add the drained potatoes to a large bowl with the eggs, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and oregano and stir until everything is well incorporated. The mixture should look like mashed potatoes, with a few shredded potato pieces remaining.
  • Line a 12-inch (30 cm) round pizza pan with parchment paper. Transfer the potato mixture to the pan and shape it into a crust, pressing down so that it's an even thickness with a lip around the outer edge. Brush the entire crust with olive oil.
  • Bake for 22-25 minutes, until the crust is beginning to brown and is firm to the touch. Remove from the oven.
  • Reduce the oven temperature to 325ºF (160ºC).
  • Add the toppings: Scatter the Monterey Jack cheese evenly over the crust. Top with the breakfast sausage. Carefully add the eggs, spacing evenly around the pizza. Season the eggs with salt and pepper.
  • Bake the pizza for 10-12 minutes, until the egg whites are set and the yolks are still a bit runny.
  • Top with the scallions and hot sauce, if using, then slice into wedges.
  • Enjoy!

POTATO CRUST PIZZA



Potato Crust Pizza image

Unique Pizza that uses hash brown potatoes for the crust, and is topped with sausage, tomatoes and mushrooms. Experiment with some of your other favorite toppings.

Provided by Kathy Moore

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Pizza Recipes

Time 55m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound sweet Italian sausage, casings removed and crumbled
6 cups frozen shredded hash brown potatoes, thawed
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
¼ teaspoon salt
4 roma (plum) tomatoes
1 (4 ounce) can sliced mushrooms, drained

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Coat a 16 inch pizza pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Place sausage in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring to crumble, until evenly browned. Drain grease, and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, toss together the hash browns, salt, and 3/4 cup of the cheese until evenly blended. Spread in an even layer on the pizza pan, and pack down. Slice tomatoes thinly, and set on paper towels to drain. This will keep them from being watery when they cook.

Sprinkle the remaining cheese, mushrooms and sausage evenly over the pizza. Return to the hot oven and bake for another 5 to 10 minutes, until cheese is melted.

PIZZA DI RICOTTA RICOTTA PIE WITH POTATO CRUST



Pizza di Ricotta Ricotta Pie with Potato Crust image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     appetizer

Time 3h45m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 3/4 cups ricotta cheese
1 pound boiling or baking potatoes
1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sliced, pitted green olives
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon chopped fresh marjoram or summer savory

Steps:

  • Spoon the ricotta cheese into a sieve placed over a bowl and refrigerate for 2 hours to drain off the liquid.
  • Meanwhile, if cooking the potatoes on the stove top, peel them and place in a saucepan with salted water to cover generously. Bring to a boil and boil until tender, about 30 minutes. Drain well and pass through a ricer or food mill placed over a bowl, or simply mash. Alternatively, place the baking potatoes in an oven preheated to 400 degrees and bake until very soft, about 1 hour. Cut in half and scoop out the potato flesh, passing it through a ricer or food mill or mashing it. While still warm, add the 1 2/3 cups flour and the salt to the potatoes and knead them in to make a firm, smooth dough, adding more flour as needed to achieve the correct consistency.
  • Preheat an oven to 375 degrees. Lightly oil a 10-inch pie plate.
  • On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the dough into an 11-inch round, about 1/4-inch thick.
  • Carefully press it into the prepared pie plate. Turn under the edges and press on to the plate rim.
  • (Alternatively, roll out, place on an oiled baking sheet, and fold up the edges like a pizza crust.) Spread the ricotta over the crust, then distribute the olives evenly over the ricotta. Sprinkle with the pepper, Parmesan cheese, and chopped marjoram or savory.
  • Bake until golden, 30 to 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and place on a rack to cool slightly. Serve warm, cut into wedges

POTATO CRUST VEGETABLE PIZZA



Potato Crust Vegetable Pizza image

I lost this recipe in a recent move. I thought it was from SL, went to the SL message board and someone said it sounded like a BHG recipe, so checked there. YEAH! Posting here for safe keeping. This is NOT a quiche--the eggs are just to hold the crust together. The full flavor of this "pizza" comes from the chevre, fresh basil and veggies. I have successfully used the refrigerated shredded hash browns to save some time. Get out the food processor for the other veggies--your taste buds will NOT be disappointed! Serves 8-10 as a main dish, 18-20 appetizers. From BH&G

Provided by Tamaretta

Categories     Vegetable

Time 55m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 medium baking potatoes, peeled
1 medium onion
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil (prefer rosemary flavor)
1 small red onion, halved and thinly sliced
2 medium zucchini, thinly sliced
2 medium summer squash, yellow-thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 (5 1/3 ounce) package goat cheese
16 cherry tomatoes, quartered
2 tablespoons fresh basil, snipped
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded (4 oz)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F.
  • Finely shred potatoes and onion into a bowl of water; drain well, squeezing out excess moisture.
  • In a large bowl, combine potatoes mixture, eggs, flour and salt; mix well.
  • Press into a well greased 15 X 10 X 1 baking pan. Bake for 15 minutes. Brush with 1 Tablespoon of the olive oil; bake 10 minutes more. Place under broiler for 2-3 minutes or until golden and crisp.
  • Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine zucchini, squash, pepper, red onion and garlic. In a large skillet, heat the remaining oil; cook the veggies about 2 cups at a time until crisp tender.
  • Spread goat cheese over golden potato crust; top with cooked veggies and tomatoes.
  • Sprinkle with fresh basil and mozzarella.
  • Bake for 5-7 minutes or until cheese is melted.

Tips:

  • To make a crispy potato crust, use a mandoline to slice the potatoes thinly and evenly. This will help them cook evenly and become crispy.
  • If you don't have a mandoline, you can use a sharp knife to thinly slice the potatoes. Just be sure to slice them as evenly as possible.
  • To prevent the potato slices from sticking together, toss them with a little olive oil before arranging them in the baking dish.
  • Be sure to preheat your oven to the desired temperature before baking the potato crust. This will help it cook evenly and prevent it from becoming soggy.
  • If you are using a convection oven, reduce the baking temperature by 25 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Bake the potato crust until it is golden brown and crispy. This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.
  • Once the potato crust is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly before adding the toppings.

Conclusion:

Potato crust pizza is a delicious and easy-to-make alternative to traditional pizza crust. It is a great way to use up leftover potatoes, and it is also a healthier option than regular pizza crust. With its crispy texture and delicious flavor, potato crust pizza is sure to be a hit with everyone.
