Potato pizza in a frying pan

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to fry potato pizza in a frying pan? First of all, prepare the products for the filling. As for classic pizza, you can take any sausage products, meat, pickles, olives, peppers. I chose bacon and mushrooms. My onion is red, but any one will do — onions, leeks. Take tomatoes or a couple of large ones, or a few cherries.

2. Step 2:

   

   Cut the bacon into thin strips.

3. Step 3:

   

   Wash the mushrooms carefully, then dry them well with paper towels. Excess moisture will make them watery and not tasty. Cut the champignons into plates.

4. Step 4:

   

   Peel the onion and cut it into half rings.

5. Step 5:

   

   Wash the tomatoes and cut them into large rings, cherry into halves. Grate the cheese on a medium grater — so it will melt faster. Any cheese for this dish is suitable — hard, semi-hard, soft, like mozzarella. The main thing is that it is tasty, high-quality, without milk fat substitutes and melts well.

6. Step 6:

   

   Prepare the products for the base. Potatoes take three large tubers or 4 medium ones, with a total weight of about 500 grams. From this amount, I got one pizza in a frying pan with a diameter of 24 cm.

7. Step 7:

   

   Next, do the potato pizza base. Wash and peel the potatoes, dry them with towels. Grate the tubers on a fine or medium grater. I chose the medium one, it turned out faster, and the base was perfectly fried.

9. Step 8:

   

   If you have a very juicy potato, then squeeze out excess moisture and drain it. Beat an egg into the grated potatoes, add salt and pepper to taste, add flour. Be sure to wash the eggs before use, as even the seemingly clean shell may contain harmful bacteria. It is best to use food detergents and a brush.

10. Step 9:

    

    Mix the dough for the base until smooth. It will turn out to be of medium density.

11. Step 10:

    

    Heat a frying pan over medium heat, put the bacon on it. Fry it, stirring, for a couple of minutes. If the bacon fat is not enough, pour in a little vegetable oil. Add onions and mushrooms to the bacon. Add salt to the filling, but don't overdo it — bacon and cheese already contain salt. Stir and fry the filling for 5-7 minutes on high heat, until the liquid evaporates, which the mushrooms will release after adding salt.

12. Step 11:

    

    Heat another frying pan in parallel. Pour a little vegetable oil into it. Lay out an even layer of potato dough, covering the entire bottom. Fry the base over low heat for about 5 minutes. I covered the pan with a lid for a couple of minutes so that the potatoes were fried for sure. When the base is well browned from the bottom, turn it over to the other side. So that the "dranik" does not break, remove it to a plate, and then return it to the pan, turning it over.

13. Step 12:

    

    Put the prepared filling on top of the potato pancake, sprinkle it with spices to taste (I have oregano). Lay out the chopped tomatoes. Sprinkle grated cheese on top.

14. Step 13:

    

    Make the fire small, cover the pan with a lid and fry the pizza for a few more minutes, until the cheese melts.

15. Step 14:

    

    Serve the finished pizza immediately to the table — it, like the classic one, is good hot. Bon appetit!
