Why not !!! My brother loves potato cakes toasted and slathered with butter. Now I want potato cake pizza for breakfast bacon, mushies, scrambled eggs and topped with cheese. Next time roll on the parchment. 😂

[@BackyardChef]

Yeah I thought it might stick - it will never stick on the granite. Thank You. Best, Rik

[@brendarigdonsbrensden.8350]

@ i need a kitchen counter update. Granite sounds perfect!!

[@jilllengler-ck8bw]

I think a breakfast pizza sounds divine.

[@craftlover9702]

Now you're talking! That looks amazing and I am definitely going to make it!! I think I may make one with caramelized onions, garlic and cheese without sauce.

[@dianeladico1769]

Dear Rik, you're fantastically inventive. I've no patience with yeast so I am absolutely making this. I wonder if a scattering of cornmeal on the bottom might benefit those who want more crunch?
But what has my wheels turning is using this as a base for non-traditional pizzas. I'm thinking your curry sauce or thin layer of dal topped with onion and veg and spiced chickpeas or just peas for a samosa-inspired pie. Or spinach and paneer. Oooh, or mushy peas as a 'sauce' topped with other goodies.
The possibilities are endless. You're really a genius in the kitchen. So happy to have found you.

[@dianeladico1769]

Kraut, corned beef, and Russian dressing! I don't know why this crust seems like it would go better with nontraditional toppings than a regular crust but that's my sense. If there are any ideas anyone wants to share I'd love to hear them.

What an amazing recipe! I love potatoes so it has to be delicious. Thank you, Chef Rik.

[@BackyardChef]

Thank You. Best, Rik

[@lyndseybeaumont7301]

I’ve made these before but in a frying pan. I used a cast iron pan on a medium heat. I cooked the base on one side until brown, then turned it over and loaded the top on the hot plate. Then it was finished off in the oven for a few minutes to brown the top slightly. It means you can get the base nice and crispy if that’s how you like it, which I do. I don’t like soggy pizza. Xx

[@BackyardChef]

Lovely! Thank You. Best, Rik

[@susan_elizabeth]

Sensational, Rik! LOVE it!
Thank you! 💜 💜💜

[@BackyardChef]

You are so welcome. Worth a go. Thank You. Best, Rik

[@bubarong]

Yummo, I have made these before and they freeze very well and reheat great in the air fryer. Because I am lazy, I don't roll, my dough is looser, I oil my tray and spread the potato with my fingers the crust underneath gets nice and crispy. I don't use sauce either for the same reason. My fave is smoked chicken and spinach and of course pepperoni. Will try your recipe next time, thanks!

Absolutely loving the idea of using mashed potatoes for pizza crust, in a word.... YUMMOLICIOUS!! 😋😋 I do have one question though..is that pepperoni, it looks more like salami. I've had sandwich large size pepperoni before, I didn't look like that at all, hence my question. ❤ Thank you again for sharing your delicious recipes with the world. ❤ Love from the USA!!

[@JanetBrown-px2jn]

I think that might be what is available in Thailand.

Yes, peperoni out here. The salami is the same size - It is the company who make it - probably Western influence at an Asian company. Thank You. Best, Rik

Just wanted to update you and fellow Rik fans... Made this tonight (but halved recipe as only me and Mr Fox) - absolutely lovely! I'm not a fan of crunchy bases to pizza and so this was right up my alley. My topping was homemade BBQ sauce, sliced onion, a decent amount of grated cheese, salami slices and a sprinkling of chilli flakes. I omitted the olive oil as it doesn't agree with me but other than that, kept to your basic principals x
