Pepperoni-Pizza Baked Potatoes
- 4 large baking potatoes, washed, patted dry, pierced all over with a sharp knife
- 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1/2 cup sliced pepperoni rounds (about 1 3/4 oz.)
- 1 8-oz. can tomato sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella
- Preheat oven to 425u0b0F. Line a baking sheet with parchment. Rub potatoes with 1/2 Tbsp. oil, then sprinkle with salt. Place potatoes on a paper towel and microwave until just tender, about 10 minutes, turning halfway through. Transfer potatoes to baking sheet. Bake until skins are crisp, about 15 minutes.
- Heat remaining oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook onion and mushrooms, stirring occasionally, until soft and beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Stir in pepperoni, tomato sauce, Italian seasoning and 1/4 tsp. each salt and pepper.
- Remove potatoes from oven. Place oven rack 5 inches from heat source; preheat broiler. Carefully cut a slit in top of each potato; squeeze ends to open. Fluff inside of potato with a fork. Divide pepperoni mixture among potatoes; top with mozzarella. Broil until cheese is melted and starting to brown, approximately 2 minutes. Serve immediately.
