Caught this recipe on Best Recipes Ever (Canadian Living). She used russet potatoes. It is gluten-free.

I'm sorry, she can call it whatever she wants, but that's not pizza
That's an interesting twist. I would try it.
For years at our state fair here, there was a vendor who sold potato pizza. It was the epitome of starchy goodness and always a perennial favorite (although I didn't see them this year) but their product was potatoes ON a pizza crust, not a pizza crust made from potatoes.
LOLWhen DH was a teenager, he was an exchange student in Finland, up near the Arctic Circle, for three weeks. He says they served potatoes morning, noon and night - hashed, mashed, bashed, gashed, you name it He got so tired of potatoes that one day, he asked the mother to make a pizza. He had to describe how to make it. He was so excited. And then - you guessed it - she put potatoes on the pizza! I'm sure he ate his fill when he got home.
...I never said it was pizza. Canadian Living/Best Recipes Ever called it pizza <g>.
I was quoting the copyrighted title of what it was called on the show. But, it did catch your eye so you checked it out. I only thought to share it because DC has a gluten-free forum and thought it might be of interest (also DC vegetarians). And those challenged by making pizza dough. Just a mind stretcher. Scenario: Want pizza, snowed in, don't have yeast/time to make pizza dough--have to feed the woodstove and shovel the driveway, I'm hungry, and I have everything else, including potatoes--maybe this will fill the spot.The title of this thread is "Potato Pizza" Wasn't it you that did that?

Given that I rarely eat bread...and we'll be harvesting the potatoes soon, I might just have to give this a whirl.Enjoy your potatoes.
She sliced it on the show and served it as "pizza." She didn't actually pick it up and eat it. Probably need to use a knife and fork.Can you pick up the pieces to eat it like pizza?
I would think one could make a crust using mashed potatoes and cheese and/or egg.
Most likely can, but don't you have to add things when making a gluten-free dough to make it rise, stick together, etc.? I am not gluten-intolerant and have (fortunately) not had many guests who are--when I have, I have gone with vegetarian, no bread or use rice cakes / wrappers.Can't you make the crust with potato flour? I think that is gluten free.

Can you put oiled/greased parchment paper on a stone? She oiled a pizza pan before she put the potatoes on the pan and then put it in the oven.It would be great if I could figure out how to get this directly on a hot pizza stone.

Had I known posting the link would generate so many comments/questions, I would have paid more attention to the show and less attention to my emails!
But, if you email the show, I bet they will get back to you. I emailed asking that they provide nutritional information on the web site, and they eventually did. There is a contact link on the web site, give it a try and let us know! The host is a skilled professional chef, so she should be able to figure it out for you!
