Recipe Box, Italian Party Bread and Pulled Pork Potato Skins
We had quite a Super Bowl spread last Sunday,
and I want to share two dishes that really stood out~
Italian Party Bread
And Pulled Pork Potato Skins
So good!
I can’t take credit for either of them,
they were HHjr’s creations
I didn’t even realize what he was doing until after they were assembled
so I don’t have any photos of the steps
DD and I were in charge of getting the bundt bread out of the pan
and onto a platter…
I must admit we did have some sticking issues, 😵
but were able to reassemble it for serving
To keep things safe
I recommend serving this with tongs
to grab and dunk the biscuit pieces
and small plates to put them on
Italian Party Bread
Equipment
- Bundt pan
Ingredients
- 2 cans refrigerated canned biscuit dough
- 1 1/2 cups pepperoni or salami slices quartered
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 1/2 cups grated mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated sharp cheddar
- 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 2 cups Marinara sauce, divided
- 2 Tbsp finely grated Parmesan cheese for garnish
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350. Spray a 10-cup bundt pan with non-stick cooking spray
- Cut biscuits into quarters
- Put biscuit pieces into a large bowl with 1/2 cup marinara sauce, oil, pepperoni, mozzarella, cheddar, freshly grated Parmesan cheese, italian seasoning, garlic powder and onion powder.
- Mix everything until all biscuits are coated with oil, cheeses, sauce and seasonings.
- Place biscuit pieces in prepared bundt pan in an even layer
- Bake in oven for 30 minutes and test for doneness with a long toothpick, or skewer. Return to oven for 5 minute intervals until done. Baking time is usually closer to 40 minutes, depending on oven. Cover top with foil if bread is getting too brown.
- Let bread set for 10 minutes. Insert thin spatula between bread and pan to loosen. Turn bread out onto serving plate
- Warm remaining marinara sauce and place into a small bowl that will fit in the center of bread. Sprinkle sauce with finely grated Parmesan and basil if desired. Place bowl into center of bread for serving.
- Provide tongs and plates fro serving
Notes
The potato skins are actually the top of the potato
There are several ways to cut potatoes for potato skins
You can cut off the top and bottom horizontally,
using the top and bottom for potato skins
and cut the middle slice into french fries
Or you can cut in simply in half
for 2 larger and deeper potato skins~
Or you can take a small slice off the very top,
which is what he likes to do,
and use the large bottom part for twice baked potatoes
and the small slice for potato skins
HHjr and his boys love potatoes so he makes twice baked potatoes often,
and freezes the potato tops filled with a little of the twice baked mixture
He had a ziplock bag full of these skins in the freezer
and cooked a pork butt to top them
The cheesy potato skins are topped with a little pulled pork,
a drizzle of BBQ sauce, and baked in the oven until hot
This smaller size skin is perfect for appetizer servings
Pulled Pork Potato Skins
Ingredients
- baking potatoes*
- sour cream
- butter
- grated sharp cheddar
- cooked pork butt, shredded
- BBQ sauce
Instructions
- Wash potatoes, prick and bake at 400 degrees until done. Let cool slightly
- Cut a small slice off the top of the potato. Scoop out the bottom of the potato, putting the potato insides into a mixing bowl and reserving the potato shells and top slices.
- Combine the hot potato insides with butter and sour cream until it is the consistency of mashed potatoes and then stir in cheese.
- Spread a little on the reserved top slices and then stuff the remaining potatoes with mashed mixture.
- Refrigerate or freeze the large stuffed potatoes to serve as a side for a future meal
- Top the small potato skins with pulled pork and a drizzle of BBQ sauce and put in a baking dish. Potatoes and be refrigerated at this point for baking later if desired.
- Bake for 30 minutes or until heated through.

We love pulled pork on potato skins Jenna! Your Italian party bread sounds wonderful too! ♥
Thanks Mary!
Two wonderful sounding recipes that we would love. Pulled pork and anything Italian are always welcomed at our table. Thank HHjr for the recipes. It looks like rain for the next few days, Jenna. Stay dry and warm!
Thanks Pam, we’re heading to the coast, it won’t be much better down there unfortunately, but maybe a tad warmer…
You had me at hello with pulled pork! Delicious!
Thanks Nancy, they are really good!

Those all look fabulous but especially that bread. I have a feeling we’ll be seeing that one on our table once that a) we’re in a group and b) that we’re actually eating the same food!
