Mini Pizza Potato Skins

Name: Mini Pizza Potato Skins
Prep time: 5 min
Cook time: 20 min
Total time: 25 min
Yield: 8 servings
Cuisine: Indonesian
Ingredients: 8 baby potatoes (, about the size of a golf ball (chat, new or salad potatoes)); 2 tbsp olive oil (, or oil spray); 1/2 cup pizza sauce (, preferably homemade (see notes)); 1 cup grated melting cheese ((I used mozzarella. Tasty, cheddar, gruyere and swiss would also also well)); 48 pieces mini pepperoni slices ((see notes)); Finely chopped parsley (, to garnish (optional))

These are great for entertaining as they are "one bite" appetisers that can be prepared ahead. I make these my "express" way by microwaving the potatoes, then crisping them in the oven. You could also bake them so I've provided directions for that as well. Use whatever toppings take your fancy!

Ingredients

8 servings

8 baby potatoes (, about the size of a golf ball (chat, new or salad potatoes))
2 tbsp olive oil (, or oil spray)
1/2 cup pizza sauce (, preferably homemade (see notes))
1 cup grated melting cheese ((I used mozzarella. Tasty, cheddar, gruyere and swiss would also also well))
48 pieces mini pepperoni slices ((see notes))
Finely chopped parsley (, to garnish (optional))

Instructions

Preheat oven to 220C/430F.
Prick each potato 2 to 3 times with a fork. Spread them out evenly around the edge of the microwave turntable (or in a circle for microwaves without a turntable). Microwave on high for 2 minutes. Turn potatoes over then microwave for a further 2 minutes, or until just cooked. Remove from microwave.
Cut each potato in half, then use a teaspoon to scoop the filling out, leaving a thin layer of potato.
Place the potatoes on a baking tray, skin side up.
Brush with olive oil (or spray) then sprinkle with a pinch of salt.
Bake skins for 10 minutes or until the skin is browned and a bit crispy.
Turn the grill (broiler) on.
Flip the potato skins over so the bowl side is facing up.
Fill each potato skin with about 1 1/2 tsp of pizza sauce, then top with grated cheese.
Place 2 to 3 pepperoni's on each, then place under the grill (broiler) for 3 to 5 minutes until the cheese is melted and the pepperoni is just starting to brown.
Sprinkle with parsley, if using, and serve immediately.
