Pizza Potato Skin Bites. Mini Pizza Potato Skins – one bite baby potato skins with a pepperoni pizza topping! I've made pizza potato skins in the past using full size potatoes, but I found that there was too much pizza sauce and cheese required to fill the potato skin (because the scooped out potato bowl is quite deep). To make the potato skins, scrub the heck out of some small russet potatoes in order to get them nice and clean.
