Preparation

Step 1

To make the potato skins, scrub the heck out of some small russet potatoes in order to get them nice and clean. When they’re dry, brush the whole surface of the potatoes with a little canola or olive oil. Sprinkle kosher salt all over potatoes.


Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Cut the baked potatoes in half, then use a spoon to scoop out most of the insides, leaving a bit of a rim all around. Brush the inside and outside of each half with melted butter. Place the potatoes skin side up and return to the oven for 5 to 7 minutes. Turn them over (using tongs) and put them back in the oven for a few more minutes, or until the potatoes are crisp. Remove them from the oven and set them aside.

To assemble the skins, fill each skin with a spoonful of marinara or pizza sauce. Add a good amount of grated cheese and sprinkle on some diced pepperoni. Return them to the oven for just a couple of minutes, or until the cheese is melted
