Ultimate White Pizza

Vegetarian Times

This pizza sounds unusual, but the addition of mashed potatoes adds a pleasing taste and texture. If you are using leftover mashed potatoes, reheat them so that they’ll spread more easily. To make roasted garlic, cut 1/2 to 1 inch off top of a full head of garlic, drizzle garlic with 1 tablespoon olive oil, wrap head in aluminum foil and roast for 1 hour at 400F. Cool, then squeeze roasted garlic out of the cloves and onto the pizza crust. For garlic lovers, double the amount of garlic.
