This is something my Mom would make all the time for my sister and I growing up. It really is a family favorite. Every time I have it, it takes me back to being a kid. It obviously is not a pizza, except for the fact it is flat and is baked in the oven. This is great as an appetizer,side dish or even a main dish with a salad. Enjoy!

How To Make ciao bella potato "pizza"

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9" X 13" baking pan.

  • 3
    Mash potatoes with a fork. Do not use an electric mixer. Mixture should have some texture to it.
  • 4
    Add eggs, parsley, 1/2 cup of milk, cheese salt and pepper; mix well. Mixture should be creamy. If it seems dry add additional 1/4 cup milk.
  • 5
    Press into pan with fork leaving marks on top for texture. Sprinkle with bread crumbs and drizzle with melted butter.
