Veg Pizza

In India the only pizza that I knew, before Pizza Hut and Domino's pizza entered the Indian market was the veg pizza available at "Shiv Sagar" restaurant.Anyone who is  from Mumbai will definitely be familiar with this chain of restaurant, which is most famous for its pav-bhaji. Shiv-Sagar used to make this veg pizza which was nothing but small pizza base covered with tomato sauce and with toppings of onion, green capsicum, mushroom and heaps of shredded Amul cheese.The pizza used to be served with tomato sauce and chilli sauce and I used to like that pizza .Later when I moved to US I had my first taste of the real large size pizza . Man was it big.
It was during my stay there that I learned of a special vegeterian pizza which is actually a dish native of Sicily an island of Italy.My husband's colleague who is an Italian had  moved to US from Italy and one night over dinner she treated us to a home made veg pizza.This pizza did not contain any of the usual veges, rather it was made of boiled potatoes and cheese . She had the pizza base prepared at home . And should i dare to say it was the best pizza I ever had in my life and I knew I had to ask her the recipe. I try my best to get it as close to her preparation but as they say it is difficult to duplicate original...
So here come the recipe
