  • Scrub potatoes and prick all over with a fork. Place on a microwave-safe plate and microwave on High, turning once or twice, until soft, about 10 minutes. Using tongs, carefully transfer the potatoes to the prepared baking sheet and let cool slightly.

  • Using the back of a large spatula, gently smash the potatoes to flatten them to about ½-inch thickness. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

  • Roast the potatoes for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and top each with marinara and cheese. Bake until the cheese is melted and golden, 8 to 10 more minutes.

To make ahead

Refrigerate cooled cooked potatoes (Step 2) for up to 1 day.
