Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup Cooked bacon, crumbled
• 0.5 cup Diced pepperoni
• 0.5 cup Pizza sauce
• 0.5 cup Sour cream (optional, for serving)
• 2 tablespoons Chopped green onions (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Wash and thoroughly dry the russet potatoes. Prick each potato several times with a fork.

Step 3

Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the skins are crispy and the insides are tender. Remove from the oven and let them cool until they can be handled comfortably.

Step 4

Cut each potato in half lengthwise. Scoop out the insides of each half, leaving about 1/4 inch of potato flesh attached to the skin. Save the scooped-out potato for another dish, such as mashed potatoes.

Step 5

Brush the insides and outsides of each potato skin with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt.

Step 6

Place the skins skin-side up on a baking sheet. Return to the oven and bake for 10 minutes, or until they start to crisp up.

Step 7

Flip the potato skins over so the insides are facing up. Spread a small amount of pizza sauce inside each skin.

Step 8

Sprinkle a generous amount of mozzarella and cheddar cheese over the sauce. Top with crumbled bacon and diced pepperoni.

Step 9

Return the potato skins to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. If desired, garnish with sour cream and chopped green onions before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
