Ingredients:
For the Hash Browns:
- 4 medium-sized potatoes, peeled and grated
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 egg, beaten
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Cooking spray or a small amount of oil for greasing
For the Pizza Toppings:
- 1/2 cup tomato sauce (syn-free or low-syn)
- 1 cup fat-free mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Hash Browns:
- In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, chopped onion, beaten egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and lightly coat it with cooking spray or a small amount of oil.
- Form small patties from the potato mixture and place them in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
- Transfer the hash browns to a paper towel-lined plate to remove any excess oil.
3. Assemble the Pizza:
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the hash browns in the shape of a pizza crust, leaving a slight border around the edges.
- Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the hash brown crust.
- Sprinkle the fat-free mozzarella cheese over the sauce, ensuring it covers the entire surface.
- Add the cherry tomatoes, green bell pepper, and red onion as desired.
4. Bake to Perfection:
- Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the hash browns are crispy.
5. Garnish and Serve:
- Remove the pizza from the oven and sprinkle fresh basil over the top.
- Allow it to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
