Mashed Potato Pizza Crust is a gluten-free, crispy-yet-tender alternative to traditional pizza dough made with leftover mashed potatoes. It’s quick, versatile, and perfect for customizing with your favorite toppings.

Ingredients

  1. 2 cups cold, firm mashed potatoes
  2. 1 large egg (or flax egg for vegan option)
  3. 1/2 cup shredded cheese (optional, for structure and flavor)
  4. 1/2 cup all-purpose flour or gluten-free flour blend
  5. 1/2 tsp salt
  6. 1 tbsp olive oil
  7. Optional seasonings: 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp Italian herbs

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper and lightly oil it.

  1. In a large bowl, combine mashed potatoes, egg, flour, salt, and any seasonings. Add shredded cheese if using.
  2. Mix until a cohesive dough forms. If too sticky, add a little more flour.
  3. Transfer dough to prepared pan and spread into a 1/2-inch thick round or rectangle.
  4. Brush surface with olive oil for crispiness.
  5. Bake for 20–25 minutes, until edges are golden and crust is firm.
  6. Remove from oven, add sauce, cheese, and toppings.
  7. Bake for another 8–10 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Notes

  1. For vegan version, use flax egg and plant-based cheese or omit cheese.
  2. Thicker crust will be softer; thinner crust will be crispier.
  3. Garlic mashed potatoes add extra flavor.
  4. Pre-bake crust before freezing for best results.
