Test Kitchen tips
  • We used russet potatoes in this recipe. They have a slightly drier texture than other varieties and will cook up a bit fluffier.
  • These potatoes are “baked” in the microwave to speed up prep. You can also bake them at 400° for 45-60 minutes.
  • Eating the skin of potatoes will give you added nutrition, especially fiber and potassium.

    1. Preheat oven to 400°. Scrub potatoes; place on a microwave-safe plate. Pierce several times with a fork. Microwave, uncovered, on high until tender, 12-15 minutes.
    2. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat; saute mushrooms, pepper and onion until tender, 6-8 minutes. Add garlic; cook and stir 1 minute. Stir in pizza sauce and pepperoni; heat through.
