Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1.5 cups pizza sauce
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cups parmesan cheese, grated
- 20 pieces pepperoni slices
- 1 medium green bell pepper, diced
- 0.5 cups black olives, sliced
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Peel the potatoes and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Arrange the slices evenly in the prepared baking dish.
Drizzle the olive oil over the potato slices and season with salt, black pepper, dried oregano, and garlic powder. Toss gently to coat all the slices evenly.
Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until they start to become tender and slightly golden around the edges.
Remove the baking dish from the oven and spread the pizza sauce evenly over the potato slices.
Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, followed by an even layer of diced green bell peppers, sliced black olives, and pepperoni slices.
Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese and grated parmesan cheese.
Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh basil, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Pizza Potato Bake!
