Calzone Samosa (Potatoes and peas) Recipe

Normally, starchy vegetables are not used as a topping for Pizza, but we can use starchy vegetables to make Calzone.

We will need one 8" Pizza crust. You may elect to make your own Pizza crust , buy a frozen crust or Naan. If you are using frozen crust or frozen Naan, make sure they are fully thawed out. Par-baked crusts or Naan are not suitable for Calzone, as the edges can not be sealed.

Ingredients

1. Pizza Crust 8" (6 oz dough): 1

2. Boiled potatoes: 1 medium size. The potatoes should not be over-cooked.

We need 1 cup of diced potatoes for this recipe.
