Cooking in general for me means trying new things, getting adventurous in the kitchen. This potato - base pizza in a pan is super easy to make, a protein-packed and lower carbs dish, totally gluten-free too! It makes the best breakfast, brunch or lunch ever. A cosy dinner too.
So, a few weekends back I have tried this potato base pizza in a pan, it was just something that I wanted to try for some time- I had it jotted down as an idea to try.
I cannot tell you what a success this was especially with the kids. They were joyful and begged me to do it again... . So here I am with the recipe. They have asked and I did have to deliver, this is what mums do! ❤️
Pleased I did manage to get some pictures too although despite not being the best pictures. You do get the idea which is the whole point, right?
This time I just happened to have some fancy potatoes (the purple ones in particular) so it all looks very pretty. You may try either just making it with sweet potatoes or just the regular ones. Will be a delicious outcome.
You won’t see that part of the dish in the end anyway but I have chosen to put three types of potatoes this time as I have had them all.
The potatoes, I do get them always all organic from my local source as I do feel they are better for us and taste far better. I know we can agree to disagree on this though 😉 lol
Also, I am pretty sure you do know me by now .... how I ❤️❤️ and really enjoy mixing ingredients. Adding extra colour to my food is just something that always cheers me up.
Oh and if you would like more colourful food here are some more recipes you will definitely enjoy.

This recipe looks like a great one for those times when you need a really filling dish. And I often have some potatoes to use, so this may work just great!
