vegan mashed potato pizza

Pre:

This was a new experiment...We went to sacco's bowling alley a couple weekends ago with friends, enjoyed good beer and a couple rounds of candle pin. They have excellent vegan pizza there too. Their special that day was mashed potato pizza (not vegan) and Mark Elledge said he had it before and it was delicious.
So I went home and googled some recipes- I guess it is a tradition that started in New haven, CT with the Yale college kids. Basically you take a layer of mashed potatoes as your sauce, and whatever toppings you want. I made a vegan version to experiment and it was REALLY tasty...
Ingredients:
pizza dough (I bought premade from trader joe's, it was vegan obviously)
mashed potatoes (from scratch using whatever recipe you use, probably about 4-6 potatoes worth)
olive oil
topping of your choice (I used brocolli and mushrooms)
Daiya cheese (mozzarella and cheddar).

Directions:
Roll out the dough with some flour and then place on a floured baking sheet. Drizzle a layer of olive oil over the dough.
Once the mashed potatoes are cooked spread a layer about 1/2cm thick over the entire dough.
Then apply you toppings (mushrooms and brocolli for me).
Then apply a layer of cheese so the toppings are covered.
Bake at 450 for 15-20 minutes.
