Cheese Pizza Fries

Experience the savory delight of our Cheesy Pizza Fries, a perfect fusion of comfort food and pizzeria flavors! Begin by microwaving Russet or Idaho potatoes until tender, then slice them into crispy wedges. Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and bake until golden perfection. Next, layer on marinara sauce, just enough for that classic pizza taste, and top generously with shredded mozzarella and mini pepperoni. Return them to the oven for a final melt, watching as the cheese bubbles and the pepperoni crisps. Serve with steamed mixed veggies for a delightful meal that’s anything but ordinary!

Prep Time: 5 min
Cook Time: 35 min

Ingredients:

  • 4 Russet or Idaho potatoes
  • 1.5 cups marinara sauce
  • Enough shredded mozzarella to warm your soul
  • Mini pepperoni
  • Mixed fresh veggies, steam in bag

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 425 F. Put potatoes on a microwave safe dish, pierce with a fork and microwave for 4 minutes. Carefully cut potatoes into wedges. On a lined baking sheet, toss potato wedges with a little olive oil, salt and pepper. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until potatoes are tender and golden.

Remove fries from the oven and pour the marinara sauce on top. Just enough to flavor the fries, you don’t want them soupy. Sprinkle over mozzarella cheese and top with pepperoni. Return the fries to the oven and cook for 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and pepperoni is crisp.

Serve fries with mixed veggies on the side.
