LOADED MASHED POTATO PIZZA RECIPES

Steps:

• Combine the butter and milk in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave until hot. Combine the milk mixture with the potato flakes and whisk well. Add a splash more milk if needed; the potato mixture should be more fluid than normal – almost like a very thick cream sauce.
• Chop the bacon and cook until crisp. Dice the chives, grate the cheese if needed, and get all of the remaining ingredients right ready to go next to the grill.
• Open the dough and unroll it. Place the dough directly onto the pre-heated grill grate on the hot side. Cook about 3 minutes until very browned, then flip it. Cook a few more minutes to brown the other side, then move the pizza to the other side of the grill where the heat is off.
• Spread mashed potatoes onto the pizza crust, then top with the bacon, chives, and cheese. Close the grill and allow to cook for about 10 minutes to melt the cheese and warm up the toppings.
• Remove from the grill, cut, and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Place the bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on paper towels.
• Place potatoes into a large pot of lightly salted water; bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain potatoes and return them to the pot.
• Mash butter into the potatoes with a potato masher or electric hand mixer until melted completely into the potatoes; add sour cream and continue to beat until combined. Crumble bacon into the potato mixture; add Cheddar cheese and chives and stir. Season potatoes with salt and pepper.
