Twice Baked Potato Pizza | Recipe & How To Video
Potatoes are an all time favorite pizza topping for me. All forms of potatoes are welcome on my pies from roasted to mashed. For this pizza I’m channeling the flavors of a twice baked potato into pizza form. I keep the mash on the potatoes rustic and fortify them with plenty of creme fraiche to help them hold up during the bake in the pizza oven. With bacon and chives in the mix this pizza brings the classic twice baked potato flavors and makes for an absolutely delicious pizza. Comforting and satisfying with a flavor that keeps you reaching for another slice. This was one of my favorite pies in recent memories and I’m stoked to share it with all of you. I hope you enjoy. One Love!
For this bake in the Ooni I’m using the recipe in my homemade sourdough pizza dough recipe and how to. If you’re using store bought dough check out my video on How to Make Store Bought Dough Awesome.

- Using a large pot, bring 3 quarts water to a boil over high heat. Add potatoes and cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain potatoes in a colander.
- Wipe out the pot used to boil the potatoes in and add butter and milk. Return potatoes to pot and roughly mash using a wire potato masher. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Let cool before topping pizza.
Pizza
- Watch the video for the full how to!
- Preheat your Ooni Pizza Oven for at least 30 minutes, I like to heat the center of the oven deck to around 850f before loading this style of pizza.
- Begin building the pizza by adding the fresh mozzarella, top with dollops of the mashed potato mixture, I like to go generous. Sprinkle with shredded white cheddar. Add a small handful of bacon lardons. Season with salt and pepper.
- Let the crust set on a wire rack for at least 20 seconds. Top with minced chives. Slice, serve immediately. I serve my pizza on this 14" Wooden Pizza Peel.
