Preparation

Place oven racks 4-inches from broiler. Preheat broiler to HIGH. Line a large rimmed baking pan with foil; set aside.

Microwave potatoes in bag on HIGH for 6 minutes. Open bag; cool slightly. Cut potatoes in half lengthwise. Using a melon baller, scoop out center of each potato to make ½-inch-thick shell. Reserve for another use. Place potato halves, cut sides up, on a large rimmed foil-lined baking pan.

Fill each potato half with 3 mini pepperoni slices, ¼ teaspoon marinara sauce, and 1 fresh mozzarella pearl. Sprinkle with ½ tablespoon Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning.

Broil 6 to 8 minutes or until cheese is melted and potatoes are tender. Sprinkle potatoes with additional ½ tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese. Garnish with fresh basil, if desired.
