Ingredients Method

Ingredients

4-6 Russet potatoes
14 oz jar pizza sauce
2-3 cups shredded Mozzarella or mix of Italian cheeses
6 oz pepperonis chopped
Dried oregano for sprinkling
Optional: lb Italian sausage (cooked), sliced black olives, sliced mushrooms, crumbled bacon, or any other pizza toppings you like
Salad for serving

Method

Cook the potatoes via your preferred method, oven or microwave.
While they cook, warm the pizza sauce on the stovetop in a small sauce pan.

Baking gives a crisper skin but can take a long time, especially with sweet potatoes, so if I need dinner quickly, I use the microwave method. I also do a mix of Russet and sweet potatoes, depending on what each family member prefers.

Once the potatoes are fork tender, split them and squeeze open. I like to mash them up just a bit with a fork to make a sort of boat for the ingredients.
Spoon in pizza sauce, pepperonis, and whatever other toppings you like. Top this with a healthy handful of cheese, sprinkle on some dried oregano, and place under broiler until the cheese melts. Serve with a salad.
