Ingredients

7 to 8 Medium – Potatoes or baby potatoes
1 cup – Shredded cheese
3 – Salami
1/2 cup – Pizza sauce or tomato ketchup
Oregano as required
Red chili flakes as required
Black pepper powder as required
Olive oil / Plain oil as required

Potatoes – Any of these lovely potato spuds—which come in a variety of hues and forms—will work in this recipe. To make sure they roast up evenly, I suggest choosing potatoes from a package that all appear to be about the same size. They were great and I used them to make my pizza mashed potatoes. Similarly sized baby potatoes are also available.

Pizza sauce – Pizza sauce can be created at home or bought in a supermarket. In order to make this recipe even quicker and simpler, I used store-bought bottled pizza sauce. But if you think you can handle it, go ahead and make a homemade sauce; I’ll support you! You can also take.

Grated Cheese – The most typical pizza topping is mozzarella cheese, but there are many of other delectable choices as well! Because I have a dairy sensitivity, I used freshly grated goat cheese with a decreased lactose level. But, you’re welcome to use any type of grated cheese you choose! Parmesan, provolone, and pecorino romano all taste fantastic when freshly grated!

Important Suggestions To Keep In Mind

In the first step, avoid overboiling your potatoes. They won’t keep their shape when smashed if they are overcooked or overboiled since they will be too soft. Thus, boil potatoes until they are barely fork soft, then drain!
These mashed potatoes with pizza toppings are air fryer compatible! To accomplish that, follow the recipe through roasting. Next, for 15-20 minutes, cook them in the air fryer at 400° Fahrenheit rather than roasting them in the oven.
This recipe can be prepared ahead of time and baked or air fried 20 minutes before serving.
This recipe is excellent for dinner parties, potlucks, and game days.
They are incredibly hands-off, and everyone adores them!
I also place a small square of wax paper or butter paper between the potato and the glass to prevent sticking.
