Potato Pizza Bites
Ingredients:
• 24 ounces (about 2 large) Idaho® russet potatoes, thinly sliced
• ½ cup liquid egg whites
• 1 cup no-salt-added pizza sauce
• 3 ounces low-sodium Canadian bacon, diced
• 1 ounce turkey pepperoni, chopped
• ½ cup part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 1 tablespoon minced onion
• 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup baby spinach, finely diced
• Avocado oil spray
Instructions:
Prep the potatoes:
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Thinly slice potatoes (leave skins on for fiber).
- Add to a large bowl and spray lightly with avocado oil spray.
- Add minced onion, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat.
- Pour in ½ cup liquid egg whites and stir until all slices are lightly coated — this helps bind the bites and adds protein.
Assemble the pizza bites:
- Spray a 12-cup muffin tin generously with avocado oil spray.
- Divide the potato mixture evenly among the cups, layering slices to form a mini “crust.”
- Spoon about 1 tablespoon pizza sauce into each cup.
- Add a mix of Canadian bacon and turkey pepperoni, then top each with a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese.
Bake:
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the edges are golden brown.
- Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes to set before removing.
Finish & serve:
- Top each pizza bite with diced baby spinach before serving for a fresh, veggie-packed finish.
