  3. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 6 minutes, or until the crust begins to lightly brown.

  5. In a medium bowl, combine 1/4 cup melted margarine, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning.
  6. Add the sliced potatoes and gently toss to coat evenly.

  8. Top the sour cream with the potato mixture.

  10. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 17-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly browned.
  11. Let the pizza stand for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
  12. Serve immediately with a side tossed salad dressed with your favorite Italian dressing. Enjoy!
