Equipment

  • Large bowl

Ingredients

Copy Ingredients Copied!
  • 1 package any flavor Microwave Ready Little Potatoes
  • 1 Tbsp canola oil
  • 1 cup pizza sauce
  • 18 to 20 slices pepperoni
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

Instructions

  • Step 1

    Cook potatoes in microwave pack according to package directions (see notes below for alternate directions). Toss with oil and attached seasoning pack.

  • Step 2

    Place potatoes on a large plate (you can use the original container, but it won’t quite be large enough to hold all the potatoes in a single layer). Using the bottom of a glass, smash potatoes so they form a flat “crust” for your pizza.

  • Step 3

    Top with pizza sauce, a pepperoni slice, and sprinkle with cheese. Microwave for one minute on high or until cheese is melted.
