These Pizza stuffed Mini potatoes are wonderful served as a gluten free appetizer, snack or even as a side dish. They are fun enough for even the pickiest kid but delicious enough that adults will be fighting over the last one. I like to serve mine as a side when we have steak since I get pretty bored of plain old potatoes.
Pizza Stuffed Mini Potatoes
Ingredients:
24 Baby Potatoes, Any variety
2 Tbsp Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper
1 Can Pizza Sauce
1 Cup Mozzarella Cheese, Grated
2 Small Pepperoni or Turkey Sausage Snack Sticks, sliced
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
In a medium bowl toss the potatoes in the olive oil, salt, and pepper then spread out on a baking sheet.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes.
Remove potatoes from the oven and allow to cool slightly.
Carefully hollow out each potato by slicing off the top and using a small spoon to scoop out most of the flesh and tops into a bowl.
Mash the potato with a masher or a fork, then combine it with the pizza sauce and most of the cheese, reserving some to top the potatoes with.
With a small spoon, stuff the mixture back into the potato shells, mounding the tops slightly.
Place the potatoes back on your baking sheet and top each with mozzarella cheese and a slice of pepperoni.
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
Bake for to 10 minutes and serve warm.
