Ingredients

• 2 large potatoes - 400 grams
• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese - 60 grams
• 1/4 cup diced onion - 40 grams
• 1/4 cup diced bell pepper (any color) - 40 grams
• 1/4 cup corn kernels (canned or frozen) - 40 grams
• 1/4 teaspoon cumin powder
• 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
• Salt to taste

• 2 tablespoons olive oil - 30 ml
• Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. Peel and chop the potatoes into chunks, then boil them in salted water for 15-20 minutes until tender.
3. Drain the potatoes and mash them in a bowl, adding cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to taste.
4. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper, and sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.
5. Stir in the corn and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
6. On a baking sheet, spread the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to create a base.
7. Divide the mashed potatoes into two equal portions and shape each portion into a round pizza base on the baking sheet, about 1/2 inch thick.
8. Spread the sautéed vegetable mixture evenly over each potato base, then sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the edges are golden brown.
