You can use shop-bought chips or homemade chips, (you can even use shop-bought pizza sauce if you like!) all cooked together on one tray for minimal washing up!

One way to bribe your kids to do the washing up?

Offer them pizza fries.

I am not above using bribery to get the chores down every now and then.

I made these as part of a batch of recipes recently, and we had family round for what we call blogger buffet. It basically consists of everything that I’ve tested that day, and more often than not, those dishes do not go together.

Think chicken curry, mashed potato, chocolate avocado mousse and sticky whisky gingerbread cake. That’s what you’re getting for dinner at blogger buffet.

Anyway, the last time I did it, these pizza fries were demolished before I could even get the other dishes on the table. Five minutes flat, gone.

🔪 How to make Pizza Fries

Full recipe with detailed steps in the recipe card at the end of this post.

  1. Mix together the passata, tomato puree, oregano, thyme, garlic powder and onion powder, then drizzle the mixture over the cooked fries.
  2. Top with grated cheddar and mozzarella, then arrange sliced peppers on top.
  3. Sprinkle with more cheese and good pinch of oregano, then arrange sliced pepperoni over the top. and place back into the oven for about 10 minutes, until the cheese has melted and the pepperoni is cooked.

👩‍🍳PRO TIP Grated mozzarella gives that great stretch when you’re pulling out those fries, but it’s a little bland by itself, so I like to mix it up with some strong cheddar. This will give you the stretch AND the flavour.

Sprinkle with a little parsley before serving.

Pepperoni Pizza Fries loaded with homemade pizza sauce, stretchy mozzarella and tasty cheddar. Serve them for dinner, as a game day or party food. You won't believe how fast they disappear!
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes
Servings: 4
Course: Appetizer, Lunch
Cuisine: American

Ingredients

  • 900 g (2 lbs) oven chips use your favourite chips or fries, or how about crispy homemade chips
  • 120 ml (1/2 cup) passata tomato puree for US
  • 2 tbsp tomato puree tomato paste for US
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • ½ tsp dried thyme
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • 75 g (3/4 cup) grated/shredded cheddar cheese
  • 100 g (1 cup) grated/shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced
  • 15 slices pepperoni
  • small bunch fresh parsley finely chopped

Instructions 

  • Place the chips on a large oven tray, in a single layer, and cook as per the instructions on the pack.
    900 g (2 lbs) oven chips
  • Meanwhile, in a bowl, mix the passata, tomato puree, all but a pinch of the oregano, thyme, garlic powder, and onion powder.
    120 ml (1/2 cup) passata, 2 tbsp tomato puree, 1 tsp dried oregano, ½ tsp dried thyme, ½ tsp garlic powder, ½ tsp onion powder
  • When the chips are cooked, we want to pile them up (rather than have them in one single layer), so either pile them in the centre of the tray or pile them up on a smaller tray. I like to use a smaller tray, and then serve the pizza fries directly from it.
  • Drizzle the sauce over the top of the chips and sprinkle on half of the cheddar and half of the mozzarella.
    75 g (3/4 cup) grated/shredded cheddar cheese, 100 g (1 cup) grated/shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Top with the sliced red pepper, then sprinkle on the remaining cheddar and mozzarella.
    1 red bell pepper
  • Sprinkle on the reserved pinch of oregano, then top with the pepperoni slices.
    15 slices pepperoni
  • Place back in the oven to cook for 8-10 minutes, until the cheese has melted and the pepperoni is cooked through.
  • Remove from the oven and sprinkle on the chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

Can I make Pizza Fries ahead?
These fries are best eaten straight away, so I wouldn’t recommend making them ahead of time.
Best type of potatoes to use if you’re making homemade chips:
I like to use Rooster potatoes – which are red-skinned floury potatoes. Any floury potato – such as Russet, Desiree, Maris Piper or Kind Edward will also work great.
Best type of pepperoni to use:
I like to use a 4-5cm diameter, thinly sliced Italian pepperoni or salami. Ideally one that is pre-sliced, so the slices are consistent.
I like a hot and spicy pepperoni, but you can use a milder one if you prefer.
Make it even simpler:
  • Use ready-made pizza sauce, instead of making your own
  • Use a ready grated/shredded cheese mix
