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!
