This Vegan Potato Habanero White Pizza is the perfect balance of spice and creaminess. Topped with thin potato slices and red onion.

“Pizzzzzaaaaa…pizzzzaaaaaa…..pizzzzzzzaaaaa. Did anyone order me a plain cheese?”

This is the quote that runs through my head every time I have pizza. (I hope you all know what movie it is from – it is my all time favorite!).

I may not be ordering cheese pizza anymore, but I am eating lots of noteworthy pizzas. And this Vegan Potato Habanero White Pizza is up there on the list.

The sauce is made with vegan cream cheese and fresh garlic. This gives it a creamy “cheesy” texture and is the perfect base for the rest of the toppings. The trick with the toppings is cutting everything super thin (I used a mandolin, but if you have fancy knife skills you could hand cut them). By keeping the potatoes and onions thin, it allows them to cook all the way through and get a little crispy.

And as for the habaneros. If you’ve never had one, they are definitely on the spicy side. Add them to the pizza at your taste level. If you love spice, pile them on, and if you like a little less spice use them sparingly. The sauce acts as a great balance to the spice of the peppers.
