  2. Position oven rack to the second highest position.
  3. Lightly grease a baking dish with cooking spray or olive oil.
  4. Cut baked potatoes in half lengthwise.
  5. Gently scoop out the cooked potato flesh, reserving it for another use (like mashed potatoes!).
  6. Arrange potato skins, cut-side up, in the prepared baking dish.
  7. Drizzle potato skins with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, ensuring all skins are lightly coated.
  8. Brush each potato skin with 1-2 tablespoons of pizza sauce.
