**Vegetable-Packed Potato Crust Pizza**

This recipe uses a potato crust as the base and is topped with a variety of vegetables, cheese, and fresh herbs.

 **Ingredients:**

**For the Potato Crust:**
– 4 large potatoes, peeled and grated
– 1 large egg
– 1/4 cup flour (optional, for binding)
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 2 tablespoons olive oil

**For the Toppings:**
– 1 cup shredded cheese (mozzarella or a cheese blend)
– 1-2 tomatoes, thinly sliced
– 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
– 1 onion, thinly sliced
– 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms (optional)
– Fresh herbs like parsley or basil, chopped
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
– 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

 **Instructions:**

1. **Prepare the Potato Crust:**
– Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
– Grate the peeled potatoes into a large bowl. Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
– In a mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, egg, flour (if using), salt, and pepper.
– Spread the potato mixture evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet or pizza stone, pressing it down firmly to create an even layer.
– Drizzle the potato crust with olive oil and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges start to brown and the crust is set.

2. **Add the Toppings:**
– Remove the potato crust from the oven and sprinkle it with shredded cheese.
– Arrange the sliced tomatoes, red bell pepper, onions, and mushrooms evenly over the cheese.
– Sprinkle with oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
– Place the pizza back in the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the vegetables are tender.

3. **Garnish and Serve:**
– Once done, remove the pizza from the oven and sprinkle with fresh herbs.
– Allow it to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
