These easy baked potato pizzas are a delicious fun treat that your whole family will love.
Baked potatoes! Every kid loves them, and they are so easy to cook.
Red potatoes and German butterball potatoes to be exact. We received three big bags of mini potatoes in our farm box today. Now we love potatoes, but three big bags after receiving a big bag last week, has me scrambling to figure out what to do with all of these.
My son loves potatoes and he is my “easy” to feed child. He will try anything once. My daughter, on the other hand, is picky. She loves potatoes, but only fried or plain with a little sour cream. Bland foods are her favorite. Pizza sauce is the only form of tomato to ever cross her lips. If you have a child like this, you know what I mean.
I am going to try to stretch her palate a little and see if a “cheesy pizza potato” would change her mind.
The idea came to me after seeing a million pictures on Pinterest of a big potato sliced thinly partway, filled with cheese, and baked. Could I make a pizza out of this concept? Would it even work with mini potatoes? I have made a couple delicious potato recipes recently like this Cheesy Bacon Ricotta Scalloped Potato Casserole and these Jambalaya Stuffed Baked Potatoes.
I set out to find out. First, I made thin slices in the little potatoes:
Next, use a teaspoon to drizzle in the marinara sauce.
Next, slice organic mozzarella sticks on a diagonal so they would be just a little longer. I then inserted the cheese into each cut on the potato.
I sprinkled parmesan cheese on top and put these into my convection toaster oven at 375 degrees and baked for 20 minutes.
And the verdict….my daughter had seconds on this healthy snack! Success!!!

Thanks for the idea! This looks yummy and I’m an adult. I might have to try it with some pepperoni too.
I completely agree Julie 🙂 The grownups in our family loved these as well. I think we get stuck when we are trying to find things my picky child will eat. We were so shocked she liked these that I forgot about adults. Pepperoni is a great idea! Thank you for taking the time to comment.

Although these are not part of my Trim Healthy Mama plan, I’d cheat for these! You will be featured tomorrow at Savoring Saturdays when it goes live at 7 pm. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Eva. What is the Trim Healthy plan? If it is avoiding dairy, we have made these with Daiya dairy free mozzarella cheese and they were great as well.
Oh man. My family is going to LOVE these…. 🙂

I loved this recipe, that I came across some website, so much that I subscribed to your email list. Thank you for sharing Sandi.
Thank you Hady, you made my day 🙂 Have a great week.
These look so yummy I think I am going to try them tonight! I don’t have a convection oven though :(. Any idea how long this would take in a regular oven?
Hi Stephanie, if you use small potatoes like I did, check them in 30 minutes to see if they are soft.
