Mini Pizza Potato Skins Recipe

Mini Pizza Potato Skins  – one chew child potato skins with a pepperoni pizza topping! Nice appetiser to go round at events that you could put together forward then simply pop into the oven once you’re able to serve. 

We love the traditional Cheese and Bacon Crispy Potato Skins, however something pizza flavoured is all the time a winner!

I really like pizza and I really like potato (oh – and cheese), so it was inevitable that I’d do a mash up of the 2. I’ve made pizza potato skins up to now utilizing full dimension potatoes, however I discovered that there was an excessive amount of pizza sauce and cheese required to fill the potato pores and skin (as a result of the scooped out potato bowl is kind of deep). So I like making them utilizing child potatoes since you get an excellent potato / pizza sauce / cheese / topping ratio.

In Australia, we name child potatoes Chat Potatoes. They’re in regards to the dimension of a golf ball and are nice for roasting and utilizing in salads. I’m reliably knowledgeable by my pal Meggan from Culinary Hill that child potatoes are known as New or Salad potatoes in America. Mainly, any small potato will work for this recipe. Or massive. You select. 🙂

These are fairly quick to make when you do it “my approach” and cook dinner the potatoes within the microwave first, then bake them briefly in a cranked up oven to get the pores and skin crispy. Scooping out the potato is a breeze as a result of one scoop of a teaspoon is all it takes. Then fill them with pizza sauce, prime with cheese and no matter different toppings take your fancy. I simply saved it easy and popped on just a few mini pepperoni slices.

“Every time I scooped potato out of the pores and skin, I saved by chance consuming it. I really want to get to a Potato-holics Nameless assembly.”

One of many (many) causes I really like making these when entertaining is as a result of you’ll be able to assemble it forward then simply pop it into the oven once you’re able to serve. They take simply over 5 minutes to warmth by and for the cheese to soften. I do discover that the pores and skin isn’t fairly as crispy as once you make them contemporary, however that’s a small sacrifice to make for the comfort of having the ability to have these able to go.

For these within the US, you take pleasure in having the ability to purchase pre sliced mini pepperoni. For us poor sods in Australia, we’ve to slice it up ourselves. You should purchase mini pepperoni sticks on the deli counter in Coles and Woolworths. Or simply purchase regular pepperoni and cube it up. I truly desire to do that more often than not as a result of the big pepperoni has a stronger flavour.

I haven’t been capable of cease popping these in my mouth as I write up this put up. I higher log out so I can pack them away earlier than I demolish the entire plate!
