Categories     Potato

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 medium russet or Idaho potatoes
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup very finely chopped green peppers
1/2 cup very finely chopped mushrooms
1/2 cup pizza sauce (or more, depending on your preference)

Steps:

  • Poke holes in potatoes with a fork and bake for about 40-45 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool. Once cool, slice around the inside of the potato and scoop out the flesh, be careful not to poke holes in the bottom (it's okay if you do - it happens!). Put scooped potatoes in a bowl and mix with 1/2 cup mozzarella and 2 tablespoons each of peppers, and mushrooms. Mix well. Scoop mixture back into potatoes and spoon pizza sauce over top. Add more toppings and cheese. Bake for 10-15 more minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose starchy potatoes for the best results, such as Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes.
  • Prick the potatoes with a fork before baking to help them cook evenly.
  • Microwave the potatoes for a few minutes before baking to speed up the cooking process.
  • Use a potato ricer or masher to get the smoothest, fluffiest mashed potatoes.
  • Be generous with the butter, milk, and seasonings when making the mashed potatoes.
  • Use a variety of cheeses in the pizza filling for a more complex flavor.
  • Don't overload the potato skins with filling, or they will become soggy.
  • Serve the pizza-stuffed potatoes immediately, while they are hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

Pizza-stuffed potatoes are a delicious and fun twist on the classic baked potato. They're perfect for a party or a casual weeknight meal. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a satisfying and flavorful dish that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a new way to enjoy potatoes, give pizza-stuffed potatoes a try!
