Baked Potato Pizza

The most amazing foods I have ever made! Brent says its on his top 5 list of foods I make!! We used a store bought crust so we didn’t have to mess with that, but you could make your own also.

Ingredients

• 1 pizza crust—ours was I think a 12 inch
• 6 medium unpeeled potatoes, baked (I boiled mine) and cooled
• 2 tablespoon butter or margarine, melted
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
• 2 cup sour cream
• 12 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled (I just used a pound)
• 6 green onions, chopped (if you like green onions I would suggest adding some more!)
• 3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (I used a little less)
• 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese (I used a little more!)

Directions

1.      Prepare crust according to package directions—so these times are for the crust we had.  Bake at 400 degrees F for 5-6 minutes or until crust is firm and begins to brown. –we also dribbled olive oil on the crust before putting in the oven.

2.      Cut potatoes into 1/2-in. cubes. In a bowl, combine butter, garlic powder and Italian seasoning. Add potatoes and toss. Spread sour cream over crust; top with potato mixture, bacon, onions and cheeses. Bake at 400 degrees F for 10 minutes or until cheese is lightly browned. Let stand for 5 minutes before cutting.

ENJOY!! Let me know if you like it!!!

Scalloped Potatoes with Ham

One of my new favorite recipes!!! I double the recipe because one batch just isn’t enough for the 5 of us.

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons flour
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• Salt and pepper
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 2 medium onions, thinly sliced
• 4 large potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
• 12 ounces cubed baked ham
• 2 cups grated cheddar cheese

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a baking dish. In saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium high heat. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute. Remove saucepan from heat and whisk in milk. Return pan to heat and bring to a simmer while stirring. When sauce has thickened remove from heat, season with salt and pepper and set aside. In a skillet, cook onions in melted butter until golden brown. Season with salt and pepper. Spread 1/3 of the white sauce in bottom of baking dish and top with half of the potatoes. Spread out half of the onions, ham, cheese And another third of the sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Continue layering ingredients, ending with the remaining cheese on top. Bake for 45 minutes or until golden and bubbly.

The key is to make sure you use plenty of salt and pepper or it doesn’t have a lot of taste!!! Enjoy!
