Ingredients
- 1 lb Baby potatoes
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 cup Marinara sauce
- 1.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup Pepperoni slices
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 2 tbsp Fresh basil leaves (optional for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Clean the baby potatoes thoroughly. Cut them into halves or quarters, depending on their size, to ensure even cooking.
Step 2
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Step 3
Once the oil is hot, add the potatoes to the skillet. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Stir to coat the potatoes evenly with the seasonings.
Step 4
Cook the potatoes for about 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and fork-tender.
Step 5
Lower the heat to medium-low. Add the marinara sauce to the skillet, ensuring the potatoes are evenly coated. Let it simmer for 2 minutes.
Step 6
Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly over the potatoes. Arrange the pepperoni slices on top, and then sprinkle the Italian seasoning over everything.
Step 7
Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for another 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish with fresh basil leaves, if desired.
Step 9
Serve immediately, either as a main dish or a hearty side, and enjoy!
