FUN FOR THE ENTIRE FAMILY

A dish, that the entire family can take part in making, let them add whatever they like or any ingredients you have in the house (ham, olives, Parmesan cheese just to name a few).  Let everyone choose there own toppings to add, to their potatoes and let them stuff their potatoes themselves.  The kids will love it and have a great time, and these stuffed potatoes are budget friendly.

Pizza Stuffed Potatoes
4 medium russet or Idaho potatoes
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup very finely chopped green peppers
1/2 cup very finely chopped mushrooms
a handful of pepperoni slices, sliced thin and then chopped
1/2 cup marina sauce (or more, depending on your preference)
any other toppings you might have on hand
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Poke holes in potatoes with a fork and bake for about 40-45 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool.
Once cool, slice around the inside of the potato and scoop out the flesh, be careful not to poke holes in the bottom (it’s okay if you do – it happens!). Put scooped potatoes in a bowl and mix with 1/2 cup mozzarella and 2 tablespoons each of peppers, mushrooms and pepperoni, and any other topping you would like.  Place back in potato top with marina sauce and top with additional mozzarella cheese. Bake for additional ten minutes until cheese is melted.
