Just like a baked pizza potato but with a crispier skin. Toss on chopped spinach or broccoli if desired.

Ingredients

Plain baked potato

2 large, cooled completely, quartered lengthwise*

Store-bought pizza sauce

cup(s)

Pepperoni

2 oz, finely chopped

Part-skim mozzarella cheese

cup(s), shredded

Dried oregano

tsp(s), red pepper flakes or garlic, or to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425ºF. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
  2. Slice top half or two thirds of potato flesh off each potato wedge. (Reserve potato flesh for soup or mashed potatoes, if desired). Spoon about 2 teaspoons of pizza sauce over each potato and then sprinkle wedges with pepperoni; top each wedge with about 2 teaspoons of cheese
  3. Carefully place potato skins on prepared baking sheet. Bake until cheese melts and potatoes are hot, about 6 to 8 minutes. Season to taste with oregano, red pepper flakes or garlic.
  4. Yields 2 potato skins per serving.

Notes

*Make sure the potatoes are cooled completely before slicing and scooping out the flesh or you may have a hard time forming the skins.
