Ingredients
- 6 small Russet potatoes
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ½ cup Pizza Sauce your favorite
- 1 ½ cups mozzarella cheese shredded
- ½ cup pepperoni sliced or diced diced
- 2 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Bake Potatoes: Scrub the potatoes clean. Brush each potato with olive oil and sprinkle with a bit of salt. Place on a baking tray and bake in the oven for about 35 minutes or until the potatoes are fork tender. Let the potatoes cool a bit.
- Prep The Potatoes For Filling: Cut the potatoes in half and scoop out the inside leaving just a bit on the skin. Brush again the inside of the potatoes with olive oil and place in the oven again for about 5 to 10 minutes, until they start to turn crispy around the sides, turn them over and bake for another 5 to 10 minutes until nice and crisp.
- Assemble: To assemble your potato skins, fill each skin with pizza sauce, shredded mozzarella, and diced pepperoni.
- Bake: Transfer back to the oven and bake for an additional 5 to 7 minutes or until the cheese has melted.
- Serve: Garnish with parsley and enjoy while they're still warm.

Notes
- Replace the pizza sauce with alfredo sauce for a twist!
- Try out different cheese and toppings on your potato skins for a mix of pizza potato skins!
- Pop the potato skins back under the broiler for a minute or two for an extra crisp potato skin.
- Replace the parsley with chopped basil for extra flavor!
- Store leftovers by sealing them in an airtight container. Properly stored, your potato skins will will last in the fridge for 3-5 days.
