Southwestern Skillet Pizza
New Favourite Brunch alert!
While my mom was visiting, she was whipping up these potatoes in the cast iron skillet. She grated them and threw bunches in. A little salt and pepper, bam! Golden brown deliciousness. These little grated potato pancake type things stayed together so well, I thought, hey! this could be a crust! And I could top it with even more deliciousness!
Ingredients
Black bean salad:
- 1 tomato, diced
- 1/2 cup black beans
- 1/2 cup corn
- 1/4 cup bell pepper, finely diced
- 1 teaspoon jalapeƱo, seeded and finely minced
- 1 tablespoon green onions
- 1 tablespoon cilantro
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
- salt and pepper to taste
Crust:
- 3 tablespoons olive or coconut oil
- 4 large russet potatoes, grated
- salt and pepper to taste
Additional Toppings:
- Avocado
- nutritional yeast
- sour cream
- lime juice
- Fresh cilantro and chopped green onions
Directions
For the salad:
- Add all ingredients to a medium bowl and stir to incorporate. Set aside.
For the crust:
- Heat oil in a cast iron skillet on medium heat. When oil is hot, spread grated potatoes in an even layer. Completely cover the bottom of the skillet. Press down with a spatula so the potatoes are tightly packed.
- Flip when golden brown and crispy. It takes about 5-6 minutes on each side.
- Remove from pan. To remove extra oil, place on a paper towel briefly before placing on a plate.
To assemble:
- Top with mashed avocado, the black bean salad, sour cream, lime juice, and fresh herbs.
- Cut into pizza slices.
- Enjoy!
