Categories Potato

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

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 the right potatoes: Russet potatoes are the best choice for this recipe, as they are large and have a fluffy texture. You can also use Yukon Gold or red potatoes, but they will not be as fluffy.
Bake the potatoes until they are tender: The potatoes should be soft enough to easily pierce with a fork. If they are not cooked through, they will be difficult to stuff.
Use a variety of toppings: The possibilities are endless when it comes to toppings for pizza stuffed potatoes. Some popular options include cheese, pepperoni, sausage, bacon, and vegetables. You can also get creative and use your favorite pizza toppings.
Don't overstuff the potatoes: The potatoes should be filled, but not so much that they are bursting at the seams. Otherwise, they will be difficult to eat.
Serve the potatoes hot: Pizza stuffed potatoes are best served hot out of the oven. They can be eaten as a main course or as a side dish.

Conclusion:

Pizza stuffed potatoes are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are a great way to use up leftover pizza, and they can also be made with fresh ingredients. With so many different topping options, there is sure to be a pizza stuffed potato that everyone will enjoy.
