Prep the Potatoes: Peel and chop the potatoes, then toss them in a saucepan. Fill with cold water until it’s about an inch above the potatoes.
Cook Until Tender: Simmer on the stovetop until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Mash It Up: Drain the potatoes and add the butter, cream cheese, 2 tbsp of sour cream, and salt. Mash until smooth. Set aside.
Preheat the Oven: Get your pizza stone in the oven at 500 degrees so it’s nice and hot!
Dough Time: Shape your dough and brush it lightly with olive oil.
Layer It On: Evenly, and gently, spread the mashed potatoes on top of the pizza crust. Sprinkle on your shredded cheddar cheese (use more or less to your liking!).
Bake Away: Place the pizza in the oven and bake until the cheese is starting to brown and the crust is cooked through (about 10 – 14 minutes).
Final Touches: Once out of the oven, top with crumbled bacon and chopped chives. Slice it up and serve with a dollop of sour cream!
