Give your kids a fun and nutritious boost before heading out for trick-or-treating with these Little Potato Pizza Mummies! With Little Potatoes, pizza sauce, and mozzarella, this spooky snack is a great way to ensure they’re fuelled up with something healthy before indulging in Halloween candy. Easy to prepare and loaded with fun, these bite-sized mummies are perfect for getting into the festive spirit.
Kid-Friendly Tips:
- Customize the Toppings: Allow kids to choose their favorite toppings, like using different meats or veggies, to personalize their mummies, especially if olives aren’t for them!
- Add More Cheese: Kids often love cheesy snacks, so you can add extra mozzarella for more gooey ‘bandages.’
Ingredients
- 1 package Microwave Ready Little Potatoes
- 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- (To taste) salt and pepper
- 3/4 cup pizza sauce
- (To taste) pepperoni slices, chopped
- 1/4 cup black olives, sliced (can use pre-sliced canned olives)
- 6 mozzarella string cheese sticks
Instructions
-
Step 1
Preheat oven to 400 °F.
-
Step 2
Cook Little Potatoes according to package directions.
-
Step 3
Once cool enough to handle, slice Little Potatoes lengthwise.
-
Step 4
Place potato halves cut side up on a foil-lined baking sheet.
-
Assemble the Pizza Toppings:
Spoon approximately two teaspoons of pizza sauce over each potato half.
-
Step 6
Sprinkle evenly with chopped pepperoni.
-
Step 7
Place an olive near the center of each potato half to form a ‘nose’.
-
Step 8
Pull off thin strips of mozzarella cheese and lay them across the potatoes to form ‘bandages’ (it’s okay if the cheese hangs over the edges slightly, it will melt into the shape of the potatoes.)
-
Step 9
Cut the remaining olives in half lengthwise and place two halves above the ‘nose’ to form eyes.
-
Final Bake:
Bake for 3 to 4 minutes or until the cheese slightly melts.
-
Step 11
Carefully remove with a flat spatula and arrange on a large serving platter.
