Better than Pizza! Just Grate the Potatoes! Easy, Quick and Cheap Recipe

Ingredients

  • 4 medium potatoes, peeled and grated
  • 1 small onion, grated (optional for flavor)
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp paprika (optional)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tbsp chopped parsley or green onions (for garnish)
  • 2–3 tbsp oil for frying

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Prep the Potatoes:
    Grate the potatoes using the coarse side of a grater. Squeeze out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
  2. Mix the Batter:
    In a bowl, combine grated potatoes, onion, egg, flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well until everything is evenly coated.
  3. Cook the Base:
    Heat oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Spread the potato mixture into the pan and flatten it like a large pancake or crust.
  4. Crisp It Up:
    Cook for 5–7 minutes until golden brown and crispy on the bottom. Flip carefully (cut into sections if needed), then cook the other side for another 5–6 minutes.
  5. Add Cheese:
    Sprinkle mozzarella evenly over the top, cover the pan with a lid, and cook for 2–3 more minutes until the cheese melts.
  6. Serve:
    Garnish with chopped parsley or green onions. Cut into wedges and serve hot — like a cheesy, crispy potato pizza!

Would you like to add toppings like pepperoni, mushrooms, or bell peppers to make it more “pizza-style”?
