Pizza bases from potato

[Gluten free - wheat free recipe]




4 medium potatoes, grated and stained of water
2 eggs
2 tbsp milk
50 g rice flour
50 g cornflour
1 tbsp grated parmesan cheese (or some normal grated cheese)
salt and pepper
Italian herbs

1. Peel and grate the potatoes. Use a stainer to squeeze out any excess water. Microwave on high for 2 minutes on some paper towelling.

2. In a bowl whisk the eggs and then add milk, rice flour and cornflour, cheese, salt and pepper and Italian herbs and mix well. Then add the grated potatoes and mix well.

3. Oil a shallow pizza pan which can be put in the oven and pour in the potato mixture. Press down a little to make it flat. Alternatively, use baking paper in the pan instead of oil.



4. Bake in the oven at 200°C for about 20 minutes.

5. Remove from oven and add tomato puree, some cheese, topping and some more cheese on top. See topping ideas below.

6. Put back into the oven and bake for about another 15-20 minutes, until golden on top.


Topping ideas

- 1/2 can chopped tomatoes, with any watery part removed
- capsicum
- ham
- onion, finely diced
- chicken marinated in soy sauce
- grated cheese. For extra cheese, put some on the tomato puree underneath the other topping, and some on the very top.
- 2 eggs, whisked and poured on top of the cheese (just before it goes in the oven). This will make the pizza a little quiche-like. For a small pizza use only 1 egg. You might need to extend the time a little for the egg to cook through.
- pineapple pieces & ham for a Hawaiian pizza
