Potato Bacon Pizza

The Potato Bacon Pizza is a classic specialty pizza. Its creamy sauce, garlic potato, and the best part of it all ... Bacon will leave you wanting more!  So why not make two.  :-D

Now this recipe is kinda expensive compared to making a regular cheese pizza or a pepperoni pizza.  But you need to understand that this is a specialty pizza that would cost more in the pizza parlor anyway.

Next,  i do not have a recipe for dough.  I always go out and buy the pre-made shells from the store.  But if you have a recipe for dough it cant hurt to make it for this recipe.\

Lastly, my husband wanted me to make sure that i noted that this is his recipe.  

Ingredients needed:

- Bacon
- Sour Cream
- Pepper
- 2 sups mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup of Mexican cheese
- chopped onions
- Minced garlic
- Olive oil
- Basil
- 5 medium potato
- Ranch sauce
- Stick of butter
- Crust (Ether make your own or buy a pre-made crust, we buy the Boboli Pizza Crust)

Now i recommend you make the potatoes first because they are going to take the longest. This is assuming your not making your own crust.

1) Cut the potatoes into slices
2) Cut up your onoins
3) Place the potatoes and onions into a pan
4) Add the stick of butter, pepper, minced garlic, and basil  on top.
5) Cover it with foil, then  put in the oven for an hour at 350 degrees.

There is nothing special to making the bacon in this recipe except to make it crispy so it crumbles easily and don't eat it all wile your making it.  :-D

If you know how to make crispy bacon move to the next step. If not keep reading.

Making bacon is easy.  You'll need your bacon and a pan.  First you open up the package the bacon comes in and place the bacon in the pan.  Turn the stove on and wait till it gets hot.  You will see the bacon doesn't need oil because once it starts to heat up you'll the grease starts to form around it.  Now make sure you flip the bacon a couple of times so it doesn't burn.  Once it doesn't look raw you can take it out and place it on a plat with some paper towels   Make sure you put some paper towels on the plat then put some more paper towels on top of the bacon to souk up some grease. Repeat these steps a couple of times until all of the bacon is cooked.

The sauce is the easiest part of making the pizza.

Mix 50/50 sour cream and ranch sauce.  You wont need the whole bottle so just add a little bit at a time till you have enough to cover all of your dough.

1) Take some olive oil and cover the dough.
2) Put the 50/50 sauce one the dough
3)  Make a layer of your potatoes.
4) Add your cheeses.
5) Add as much bacon as you would like.

Cook the pizza at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.

Once it is done, cut it up, eat up, and enjoy.
