Pepperoni Pizza Baked Potatoes are a fun take on regular baked potatoes because they have the tastes of pizza and the comfort of a baked potato. They are tasty and filling enough to eat as a meal or an appetizer.

Ingredients: 4 large potatoes. 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese. 1/2 cup sliced pepperoni. 1/4 cup pizza sauce. 1/4 cup sliced black olives. 1/4 cup diced green bell peppers. 1/4 cup diced onions. 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano. 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder. Salt and pepper to taste. 1 tablespoon olive oil.

Instructions: Preheat your oven to 400F 200C. Wash and scrub the potatoes, then pat them dry with a paper towel. Pierce each potato several times with a fork. Rub olive oil over each potato and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork. Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly. Slice each potato in half lengthwise and scoop out some of the flesh to create a hollow space. Spread pizza sauce inside each potato half. Top each potato half with shredded mozzarella cheese, sliced pepperoni, black olives, diced green bell peppers, diced onions, dried oregano, and garlic powder. Return the stuffed potatoes to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil if desired.
