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.
