Step-by-Step Instructions for Spicy Pierogi Pizza

Prepare the Pizza Crust by rolling out your homemade pizza crust or using a store-bought option. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
Make the Chipotle Potato Chips by preheating the oven to 400°F (200°C) and tossing potato slices with oil, chipotle powder, and salt. Bake for about 25 minutes.
Assemble the Pizza by brushing the crust with olive oil and arranging the chipotle potato chips, followed by the cheese toppings and cooked bacon.
Bake the Pizza for 14-16 minutes until cheese is melted and crust edges are golden brown.
Finish and Serve by letting the pizza cool briefly, then top with scallions and sour cream before slicing.
