Originally a humble peasant food, it has become a popular snack and meal option around the world. Our recipe uses Simply Potatoes Diced Potatoes with Onion and Italian sausage to create a flavorful and filling calzone.

4.	On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a circle.
5.	Spoon the sausage and potato mixture onto one half of the circle, leaving a one-inch border around the edge.
6.	Fold the other half of the pizza dough over the filling and press the edges to seal. Brush the top with canola oil.
