Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium russet potatoes
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup pepperoni slices
- 2 cups pizza sauce
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 cups grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms (optional)
- 1 medium green bell pepper, diced (optional)
Instructions
Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds and set aside.
Grease the bottom and sides of your crock pot with the olive oil to prevent sticking.
Layer half of the potato slices evenly across the bottom of the crock pot.
Sprinkle half of the Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper over the potato layer.
Spread 1 cup of pizza sauce over the potatoes, followed by 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese.
Add half of the pepperoni slices, and if using, half of the mushrooms and diced green bell pepper.
Repeat the layers with the remaining potato slices, seasonings, pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese, pepperoni, and optional vegetables.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top layer.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and set to cook on low for 4 hours, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
Once done, turn off the crock pot and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This will allow the layers to set slightly.
Serve the Crock Pot Pizza Potatoes warm, garnished with extra Parmesan or fresh basil if desired.
