One day I decided to make a savory potato pie, but to use potato in the crust instead of filling. I imagined myself a good fluffy pie with a creamy filling of fried mushrooms, onions and something else. When I made and rolled out the dough, I realized that it looks more like a pizza not a pie. 😀 However, the potato crust suit nicely to all these colorful ingredients which I used, including some cooked fish leftovers. Grilled bell pepper and bright spring onion gave an extra kick to this pie. Honestly, I was surprised how good and delicious the pizza-pie turned out. 🙂

Potato pizza-pie with fish, bell pepper and mushrooms
Ingredients
Crust
200g/2 medium potatoes
1 bay leaf
20g butter
1 medium egg
sea salt, to taste
2-3 Tbsp grated parmesan, optional
~150g plain flour
Filling
2 tbsp homemade breadcrumbs
100-150g cooked fish fillet leftovers (I used sea bream)
a pinch of freshly grated nutmeg, optional
1 meduim red bell pepper, grilled or roasted, sliced
150g mushrooms
1 large red onion
a bunch of spring onion or chives, chopped
100ml double cream or 30-35% fat cream
Other
1 tbsp olive oil+1 tbsp butter, for frying
sea salt, freshly ground white pepper
Method
- Clean, peel potatoed, cut into fourths. Put in a pan along with some salt and bay leave, cover with water and boil until ready. Drain. Add butter, season with salt and mash potatoes. Stir in egg. Mix in parmesan, if using. Sift the flour into potato mixture, combine into a soft dough (add some more flour if the dough is too wet).
- Grease the baking paper (to suit your baking tray). Roll the dough out on this paper. Put in a freezer for 5-7 minutes (or in a fridge for 15 minutes).
- Meanwhile, prepare the filling. Slice mushrooms and onions, fry on a medium-high heat in a mixture of oil and butter (you can do it in a one large frying pan, but don’t mix it-put side by side and fry). Stir 1/3 of the cream into mushrooms, and season to taste. Set aside.
- Add some butter into the same pan and chopped spring onion (reserve some for garnish, optional), saute for 2 minutes on a low heat – you only need to soften the onion.
- In a bowl, mix fish with the remaining cream, sautéed spring onion and nutmeg, season to taste.
- Sprinkle crust with breadcrumbs. Bake it without filling in a preheated 180C oven for 15 minutes.
- Spread onion, fish, mushrooms and pepper slices over the crust. Bake for 15-17 minutes more.
- Sprinkle with remaining spring onion (optional). Serve warm.
Enjoy!

I think I could drink your soda even without any food! 😀
Wishing you lovely and tasty weekend too! 🙂

I never heard of using potatoes in crust, but you make this pizza-pie extraordinarily delicious. I want a slice of this right now. 😀 Thanks for co-hosting, Mila. Happy FF104! x
Glad to hear you liked it, Jhuls! So, you need to make a potato-crust and taste it; it’s really tasty! 😉
Have a nice week!
Looks scrumptious 👍☺
I’m a big fan of potatoes and pizza-this sounds yummy! 🙂
Whether pie or pizza, this looks so delicious! I can’t wait to try this recipe. Yummmmm 🙂
I have never thought of adding potato in the crust of a pizza. Awesome recipe! Thank you for hosting FF. Having fun!
Wow this looks like my idea of the perfect pizza. Those toppings… favorite!!
Actually, I’m not a fan of seafood pizza, but here I liked everything too)) may be because of the crust..
I could have this delicious pie anytime! Happy FF!
Hehehe Thank you! 🙂
I love alternative pizza crusts! Looks wonderful! 🙂
What a delicious pizza pie you’ve made Mila. A favorite comfort food because you can make it to your taste by adding any ingredient or spices you want. Thanks for co-hosting this week 🙂
Very creative Mila. I like that you used mostly potatoe in your crust. I imagine it would give it a crispier texture. Thanks for sharing and co-hosting:)
What an unusual crust! When I was in Korea, my colleagues would get pizza with a sweet potato stuffed crust or pizza with a piped sweet potato filling. I wasn’t really a fan but I like the concept of yours – especially since it’s ordinary pizza – it feels like it just would work better. It certainly looks better! Thanks for hosting!
Thanks for stopping by my blog. I’m glad you stumbled upon me as well. You have a wonderfully fun blog as well! This pizza looks divine! We are a pizza fan family, and would love this creative version. Yum!
My family loves pizza. We have pizza at least once a week. I love the toppings and crust; very interesting combination.
I wouldn’t have thought of this but it looks delicious !!
Thank to various leftovers -and the delicious pie was ready in less then a hour! and I do like it, so next time I will deliberately keep some fish and potatoes 😉
Thank you for visiting, Nicole! Hope your visit wasn’t the last!
Cheers
