Recipe Directions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
- Prepare the Potato Crust: In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, egg, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Form the Crust: Spread the potato mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, forming a round or rectangular shape to your desired thickness.
- Bake the Crust: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crispy around the edges.
- Add Toppings: Remove the crust from the oven and spread a layer of pizza sauce over the top. Sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese and arrange your favorite toppings evenly over the cheese.
- Return to Oven: Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the pizza from the oven and garnish with fresh basil leaves, if desired. Slice and serve hot.
