Hash Brown Pizza

>From the kitchen of David Welton

4 to 6 medium sized potatoes (washed but unpeeled)
1 cup reduced fat grated cheese (Jack, Cheddar and/or Mozzarella),
1 cup small cubes of ham, Canadian bacon, turkey or other lean meat
1 can sliced olives (2 1/4 oz)
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt and pepper to taste

Wash potatoes then cut into thirds, leave skin on. Cook covered in
microwave oven for about 6 minutes on high (rotate once if
necessary). Potatoes should be only partially cooked; they should be
hard and crunchy when stuck with a fork. Grate potatoes.
Pre-heat olive oil in large frying pan on medium to medium-high heat.
Place potatoes in an even flat layer in the pan. Cook uncovered until
evenly golden brown on the bottom (apx. 12-15 minutes). Flip the
potatoes over.

Hint: It can be tricky to flip the potatoes while keeping the potato
layer in one piece -- try using two spatulas. If the potato layer
breaks don't worry, the layer of cheese and other toppings will hide
the break.
After cooking uncovered for apx. 10 minutes place cheese, olives,
meat and whatever else you want on top of the potato pizza. Reduce
heat to medium and cook covered until cheese is melted and bottom of
potatoes is golden brown. Salt and pepper to taste.

Serves 3-4. This versatile dish can be served for breakfast, lunch or
dinner -- kids love it!
