Pizza Fries Recipe 445

PIZZA FRIES

Steps:

• Put a medium cast-iron skillet in the oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Bake the fries in the heated cast-iron skillet, mixing them a few times during the cooking process, until they are crisp, about 20 minutes.
• Remove the skillet from the oven and top the fries with the pepperoni, sausage, sauce, peppers, mozzarella and Parmesan. You can also do layers of fries and toppings to make a pile of pizza fries. Return the skillet to the oven for 5 to 10 minutes to melt the cheese. Serve immediately with a side of pizza sauce for dipping.
