List of Ingredients




Pizza Stuffed Potato Skins

6 medium-size russet baking potatoes
Salt and pepper to taste
2 1/2 cups favorite pasta sauce or 1- 16ounce container sour cream
Suggested toppings: chopped olives, chopped green peppers, sliced and
sautéed mushrooms ,cooked and crumbled bacon
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 cups grated mozzarella or cheddar cheese or other pizza cheese

1. Heat your oven to 400°. Scrub the potatoes, poke them with a paring
knife, then bake them for 50 to 60 minutes, until they're tender at
the center. Cool the potatoes briefly, then halve them lengthwise and
scoop out most of the flesh (use it for mashed potatoes), leaving a
thin potato wall. Cool the skins. If you're not preparing the pizza
skins the same day, refrigerate them.
2. To continue preparing the pizza skins the same day, heat your oven
to 400°. Arrange the skins on a well-greased baking sheet, radiating
out like the spokes of a wheel, as shown. Cut some skins in half the
long way and tuck them into the gaps between the whole skins. Lightly
salt and pepper the insides of the skins.
3. Spoon the sauce into the skins, dividing it equally. Sprinkle one
or more toppings over the skins, if desired, then cover them evenly
with the Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle with the mozzarella or cheddar.
Bake on the center oven rack for 15 minutes. Cool for several minutes,
then serve. Makes 5 to 6 servings.
