Why This Recipe Works

Frozen tater tots made an easy and surprising pizza topping, along with Italian sausage and a spicy lime–sour cream drizzle.

Before You Begin

If the dough springs back in step 1, let it rest for a few minutes and then stretch it again. Do not thaw the tater tots.

Instructions

Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 500 degrees. Brush rimmed baking sheet with oil. Roll dough into 16 by 10-inch rectangle, about ¼ inch thick, on lightly floured counter. Transfer dough to prepared sheet.

Sprinkle cheeses evenly over dough, leaving ½-inch border. Distribute tater tots and sausage evenly over cheese. Bake until tater tots are golden, sausage is cooked through, and crust is deep brown, 20 to 22 minutes.

Stir sour cream, water, lime juice, chile powder, and salt together in bowl. Let pizza cool for 5 minutes. Drizzle with sour cream mixture, sprinkle with scallions, and serve.
