Baked Potato Pizza

You have GOT to try this! It was delicious! We have a hole-in-the-wall joint in Evansville called, "The Slice" and they make a version of this. So I did some experimenting and came up with my own! It was very good and pretty close to the original. You could easily make your own homemade pizza crust, but I'm not a professional, so Jiffy mix is what I used.

* 1 (6.5 ounce) package pizza crust mix
* 3 medium unpeeled potatoes, baked and cooled
* 1 tablespoon butter or margarine, melted
* 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
* 1/4 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 1 cup sour cream
* 1/2 package of dry ranch salad dressing mix
* 6 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled
* 3 green onions, chopped
* 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
* 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Directions:

1. Prepare crust according to package directions. Press dough into a lightly greased 14-in. pizza pan; build up edges slightly. Bake at 400 degrees F for 5-6 minutes or until crust is firm and begins to brown.
2. Cut potatoes into 1/2-in. cubes. In a bowl, combine butter, garlic powder, salt, and Italian seasoning. Add potatoes and toss. Mix sour cream and dry ranch mix. Spread sour cream mixture over crust; top with potato mixture, bacon, onions and cheeses. Bake at 400 degrees F for 15-20 minutes or until cheese is lightly browned. Let stand for 5 minutes before cutting.
