Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 8 baby potatoes (, about the size of a golf ball (chat, new or salad potatoes))
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (, or oil spray)
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce (, preferably homemade (see notes))
  • 1 cup grated melting cheese ((I used mozzarella. Tasty, cheddar, gruyere and swiss would also also well))
  • 48 pieces mini pepperoni slices ((see notes))
  • Finely chopped parsley (, to garnish (optional))

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 220C/430F.
  • Prick each potato 2 to 3 times with a fork. Spread them out evenly around the edge of the microwave turntable (or in a circle for microwaves without a turntable). Microwave on high for 2 minutes. Turn potatoes over then microwave for a further 2 minutes, or until just cooked. Remove from microwave.
  • Cut each potato in half, then use a teaspoon to scoop the filling out, leaving a thin layer of potato.
  • Place the potatoes on a baking tray, skin side up.
  • Brush with olive oil (or spray) then sprinkle with a pinch of salt.
  • Bake skins for 10 minutes or until the skin is browned and a bit crispy.
  • Turn the grill (broiler) on.
  • Flip the potato skins over so the bowl side is facing up.
  • Fill each potato skin with about 1 1/2 tsp of pizza sauce, then top with grated cheese.
  • Place 2 to 3 pepperoni's on each, then place under the grill (broiler) for 3 to 5 minutes until the cheese is melted and the pepperoni is just starting to brown.
  • Sprinkle with parsley, if using, and serve immediately.
