Mini Smashed Potato Pizzas

Mini Smashed Potato Pizzas

Mini Smashed Potato Pizzas are not just a tasty treat but also a fantastic way to involve kids in the kitchen! Once the base is ready, kids can help with the fun part—customizing their own mini pizzas! Let them spread pizza sauce, sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese, and add mini pepperoni slices to their liking. You can even set up a toppings bar with optional ingredients like Parmesan, red pepper flakes, and extra Italian seasoning, allowing each child to create their own unique pizza.
