ROASTED PIZZA POTATOES



Roasted Pizza Potatoes image

Provided by Bev Weidner

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h20m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 1/2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, cut into 1/2- to 3/4-inch bites (I used Klondike Goldust for these)
2 teaspoons dried oregano (or dried pizza seasoning)
Coarse salt
1 to 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
One 8-ounce block mozzarella cheese, grated
About 15 pepperoni slices
Pizza sauce, for serving
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley or chives, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Arrange the potatoes in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and season with the dried oregano and a good pinch of salt. Drizzle with the oil and toss to coat with your fingers. Roast for about 1 hour. (I went 1 hour and 10 minutes, just for extra browning.)
  • Remove the potatoes from the oven and switch the oven to broil.
  • Sprinkle the grated cheese over the potatoes and arrange the pepperoni in a single layer over the cheese. Broil for 2 to 3 minutes; don't take your eyes off it (see Cook's Note)! This happens fast, and all we want is browning and bubbling, and for the pepperonis to crisp and curl. Serve immediately with pizza sauce and a sprinkle of parsley or chives!

PIZZA BAKED POTATO



Pizza baked potato image

This budget-friendly supper combines two favourites in one dish. Top your jacket spuds with cheese, tomato, pepperoni and basil

Provided by Katy Greenwood

Categories     Main course

Time 1h50m

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 baking potatoes
1 tbsp olive oil
½ red onion , finely chopped
1 garlic clove , crushed
60g pack sliced pepperoni , torn
400g can chopped tomato
½ small pack basil leaves , shredded
100g grated mozzarella

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Scrub the potatoes and dry well, then prick several times with a fork. Bake directly on the oven shelf for 1-1½ hrs, until they feel soft. If you are short of time, prick each potato with a fork, wrap in a sheet of kitchen paper and microwave on High for 8-10 mins until soft inside.
  • While the potatoes cook, heat the oil in a small pan and sauté the onion for 5 mins to soften. Stir in the garlic and pepperoni, and cook for 1-2 mins, then add the chopped tomatoes. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 5 mins. Season and stir in half the basil. Spoon over the split potatoes and top each one with a good handful of cheese and the rest of the basil.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Use large baking potatoes that are about the same size so that they cook evenly. Baking potatoes are a good choice because they have a fluffy interior that holds the toppings well.
  • Bake the potatoes until they are tender: The potatoes should be tender enough to easily pierce with a fork. This will take about an hour in a 400-degree Fahrenheit oven.
  • Top the potatoes with your favorite toppings: The possibilities are endless! Some popular toppings include pepperoni, cheese, sauce, cooked ground beef, vegetables, and sour cream.
  • Bake the potatoes until the cheese is melted and bubbly: This will take about 10 minutes in a 400-degree Fahrenheit oven.
  • Let the potatoes cool slightly before serving: This will make them easier to handle and will prevent the toppings from falling off.

Conclusion:

Pepperoni pizza baked potatoes are a fun and easy way to enjoy your favorite pizza flavors. They are perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a fun party appetizer. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will love. So next time you are looking for a new and exciting way to enjoy pizza, give these pepperoni pizza baked potatoes a try! You won't be disappointed.
