Equipment
Big Horn Outdoors® Pizza Oven · large pot · skillet

Ingredients

  • 1 store-bought pizza dough (10–12 oz)
  • 3–4 potatoes
  • Garlic salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • Heavy cream (enough to make the potatoes smooth)
  • 6–7 slices bacon
  • Fresh mozzarella, torn into pieces
  • Truffle oil, for finishing

Instructions

1
Mashed potatoes — boil. Peel and boil the potatoes until fork-tender.
2
Mash & season. Drain and mash. Add garlic salt, black pepper, butter, and a splash of heavy cream. Mix until smooth and creamy.
3
Cool the mash. Let the mashed potatoes cool before using them on the pizza.
4
Bacon — cook. Cook 6–7 slices of bacon until lightly cooked but not fully crispy — the bacon will finish cooking in the pizza oven. Chop into small bacon bits.
5
Pizza assembly — preheat. Preheat your oven or pizza oven to 500°F.
6
Stretch the dough. Stretch the dough to your desired shape.
7
Par-bake. Par-bake the dough for 3–4 minutes before adding toppings.
8
Top it. Remove the crust and top with the mashed potatoes, bacon bits, and torn fresh mozzarella.
9
Bake — return. Return the pizza to the 500°F oven.
10
Bake until golden. Bake for 4–5 minutes, or until the crust is golden, the cheese is melted, and the bacon is crisp.
11
Finish — truffle. Drizzle with truffle oil immediately after baking.
12
Serve. Slice and serve hot.
💡 Chef's Tip

Letting the mashed potatoes cool before topping the pizza keeps the crust from getting soggy and helps the pizza cook evenly.
