Ingredients

5 large russet potatoes (scrubbed clean)
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 pound whole milk mozzarella (divided)
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese (divided)
5 ounces pepperoni (divided...mini or chopped into small pieces)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Rub the potatoes with olive oil and then salt.
Using a fork, poke a few holes in the potatoes.
Place the potatoes on a baking sheet and bake for about 60 minutes. *Test the potatoes part way through cooking. Large potatoes will take longer to bake, small potatoes will take less time.
Use a sharp knife to cut the top part off of each potato.
Scoop out the potato pulp from each potato, being careful to leave the skin in tact. *Also be careful that the potatoes will be very hot if they are taken right from the oven.
Place the potato pulp in in a medium size bowl.
Add the all of the shredded mozzarella (reserving 3/4 cup for topping), parmesan cheese (reserving 3 tablespoons for topping) pepperoni (reserving 3 tablespoons for topping), salt, Italian seasoning and garlic powder. Mix well.
Spoon the cheesy potato mixture back into each potato. (If there is any extra potato mixture, bake it in a small greased pan.)
Top with the reserved mozzarella and pepperoni, then sprinkle with reserved Parmesan.
Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees Fahreheit and bake for 15 minutes.
Set the oven to low broil and allow the cheese to brown for 2-3 minutes. Watch this closely!
