Potato Pizza Bites
Potatoes are a great type of fiber that helps feed the good bacteria in the gut! If your gut is not compromised and you’re able to process fiber, they are a great item to incorporate into your diet. Plus, they are also high in Vitamin C, B Vitamins, and folate and also have a lower Glycemic Index when boiled.
These Potato Pizza Bites are a fun recipe for the entire family. Great for snacks, parties, football Sunday—you name it! Plus you can use any toppings of choice.

INGREDIENTS
Approximately 2 - 3 cups Strohauer Farms fingerling potatoes
4TBS olive oil
1TBS Himalayan sea salt
1TBS oregano
1/2C pepperonis, chopped
1/4C parmesan cheese
Preheat oven to 350*F.
Meanwhile, fill large stove top pot with water and bring to boil.
Add potatoes and boil for about 15-20 minutes or until softened.
Remove potatoes from stove and strain.
Immediately place in an ice bath (bowl of ice and cold water) or run under cool water until potatoes chilled. This process helps boost the resistant starches in the potatoes.
Dry off potatoes and add them to a mixing bowl, coating with oil, sea salt, and oregano.
Transfer potatoes to a baking sheet and gently press each potato with the palm of your hand until "smashed".
Drizzle potatoes with a little extra oil then roast in oven for about 10-12 minutes or until slightly golden and crisp.
Remove from oven, flip potatoes to other side, then top with pepperonis and parmesan.
Option to sprinkle with a little added oil then place back in oven for another 5-7 minutes until cheese is melted and are crisp on this side.
Remove from oven, serve with a side of marinara sauce and enjoy!
