Description
Loaded with pizza sauce, fresh mozzarella cheese, pepperoni and seasonings, these Pizza Potato Skins are sure to be a crowd-pleasing appetizer or snack!
Ingredients
- 2 Baking Potatoes, Washed And Scrubbed
- 1 Tablespoon Butter, Melted
- Salt And Pepper, to taste
- 4 Tablespoons Pizza Sauce
- 8 Tablespoons Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
- 12 Mini Pepperoni Slices
- ½ teaspoons Italian Seasoning
Preparation
Preheat oven to 400 F. Prick each potato with a fork, put them on a baking tray if desired and bake for about 50 minutes. Remove from oven. Then set oven to broil.
Cut each potato into three sections, lengthwise, so that you end up with two sides and a middle section. Set the middle aside, as it isn’t needed to make these skins (I baked the middles along with the potato skins).
Using a melon baller or spoon, scrape out the inside of each potato half, leaving about a 1/2 inch of filling.
Brush each potato skin with melted butter and season with salt and pepper.
Place potatoes on baking tray and broil for two minutes on each side. Then remove from oven.
Top each potato with pizza sauce, cheese, pepperoni, seasoning, salt and pepper.
Place into oven and broil for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until cheese has fully melted. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes.
Serve with a side of warmed pizza sauce, if desired. Enjoy!
Notes: Potato skins will keep in the refrigerator for up to three days.
