These tasty taters were a spur-of-the-moment recipe I created from leftovers! It's a true mash-up meal that combines two dinnertime favorites into one super-fun meal. —Dawn E. Lowenstein, Huntingdon Valley, Pennsylvania
Pepperoni Pizza Baked Potatoes Recipe photo by Taste of Home
Preheat oven to 400°. Scrub potatoes; place on a microwave-safe plate. Pierce several times with a fork. Microwave, uncovered, on high until tender, 12-15 minutes.
In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat; saute mushrooms, pepper and onion until tender, 6-8 minutes. Add garlic; cook and stir 1 minute. Stir in pizza sauce and pepperoni; heat through.
Place potatoes on a baking sheet; cut an "X" in the top of each. Fluff pulp with a fork. Top with vegetable mixture; sprinkle with cheese. Bake until cheese is melted, 5-7 minutes. If desired, sprinkle with oregano.
Test Kitchen tips
We used russet potatoes in this recipe. They have a slightly drier texture than other varieties and will cook up a bit fluffier.
These potatoes are “baked” in the microwave to speed up prep. You can also bake them at 400° for 45-60 minutes.
Eating the skin of potatoes will give you added nutrition, especially fiber and potassium.

Husband usually does not like baked potatoes but he liked these. I subbed diced ham instead of pepperoni because I didn’t have any pepperoni. I got home late one evening and threw the potatoes in the IP. While the potatoes were steaming, I warmed up the pizza sauce. I did add mushrooms, green peppers , garlic and onions to the sauce. Quick meal.
