potato pizza bites

It's been a while since my last update, but exciting things have been happening over here! My husband had a successful phone interview with the Dublin branch of his company (yay!) and I will find out this week whether or not I'm going to University College Dublin for my PhD! Yeah, no pressure... My nerves have been out of control!

In any case, I've got another versatile dinner-or-appetizer recipe for you: potato pizza bites. In this household, we love potatoes. I mean, we love potatoes. We often buy an entire 5-pound bag and make some kind of potato recipe every night for a week - and we never get sick of it! That probably also has something to do with our love of routines. Well. Hopefully these potato pizza bites will help you understand, if you don't already, just how amazing and versatile potatoes can be. 

Potato Pizza Bites

Makes 40-50 bites

Prep time: ~25 minutes

Cook time: 50 minutes

Ingredients

2 medium/large potatoes
2 oz. fresh mozzarella
~1/4 cup tomato sauce (or whatever sauce you prefer on pizzas! Pesto would also be great.)

~1 tbsp olive oil
salt

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. 
2. Spray a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
3. Slice potatoes as thin as possible, and place them side by side on the prepared baking sheet. 
4. Brush potato slices with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
5. Bake for roughly 40 minutes (you can bake for more or less time depending on how crispy you want your potatoes).
6. Cut the fresh mozzarella into cubes, roughly equal to the number of potato slices.
7. Top potato slices with tomato sauce and fresh mozzarella. Bake for 10 more minutes or until cheese is melted. Serve immediately!*

*Since the potatoes are sliced so thin, they cool pretty quickly, so you really should eat them right away. Which shouldn't be a problem. ^.^
