Raise the Flag Pizza!!

Happy Memorial Day, and THANK YOU to all the men and woman who paid the ultimate price in honor of our great country!!! And, especially to Alan George Hipps who VOLUNTARILY served in Viet Nam.
(serves 8)

3 small purple potatoes
Cooking spray
1 (13.8 oz.) can refrigerated pizza crust
1&1/2 T. EVOO, divided, or as needed
25 slices of pepperoni or more, as needed
1 cup Alfredo sauce (I would use roasted garlic Alfredo*)
2 cups shredded Italian cheese blend
5 fresh mini mozzarella balls, halved

Place potatoes in a pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to med.-low and simmer until tender, about 20 mins. Drain, cool, and slice potatoes into 1/4" rounds. Preheat oven to 400. Spray a large baking sheet with cooking spray. Unroll the pizza crust and spread it out in the baking sheet to fit to the edges. Brush with about 1 T. oil. Bake until lightly golden and slightly set, about 7 mins. Leave oven on. Arrange pepperoni slices on a paper towel-lined plate. Microwave on high until heated through, about 30 seconds (this is so the slices won't leave grease as they cook on the pizza). Spread Alfredo sauce over the baked crust; top with the Italian cheese blend. Arrange potato rounds in the top left corner of the pizza, forming the blue portion of the flag. Brush potatoes with the remaining oil. Place mozzarella ball halves on top of the potatoes to resemble the stars of the flag. Arrange pepperoni slices, slightly overlapping, in rows across the pizza to resemble the stripes. Bake pizza until the crust is golden brown and cheese is melted. About 10 mins.

Have fun today at your celebrations, and remember..................................

Love,
