Dressed Up Potato Skins

We had this as a side dish tonight. I've been craving potatoes lately, so this was perfect. It was a fun dish to make it and it far out-shined the main dish.

Pepperoni Pizza Potato Skins (from Weight Watchers website)
Serves 4
1 sprays cooking spray
2 large potato(es), baked, cooled completely, quartered lengthwise*
1/3 cup pizza sauce
2 oz pepperoni, finely chopped
1/3 cup part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/8 tsp dried oregano, red pepper flakes or garlic, or to taste

1. Preheat oven to 425ºF. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
2. Slice top half or two thirds of potato flesh off each potato quarter. (Reserve potato flesh for soup or mashed potatoes, if desired). Spoon about 2 teaspoons of pizza sauce over each potato wedge; sprinkle wedges with pepperoni and then with cheese.
3. Carefully place potato skins on prepared baking sheet. Bake until cheese melts and potatoes are hot, about 6 to 8 minutes. Season to taste with oregano, red pepper flakes or garlic. Yields 2 potato skins per serving.

*Make sure the potatoes are cooled completely before slicing and scooping out the flesh or you may have a hard time forming the skins.

Points per serving: 4
