Let’s talk about these twice-baked potato cupcakes.

Are they twice-baked potatoes? (Kind of.)

Are they cupcakes? (No. At least not in the traditional sense.)

All I know is that these were probably the best potatoes I have ever eaten. Not kidding.

So What Are They?

These twice baked potato “cupcakes” taste just like twice-baked potatoes, minus the potato skin. That means you don’t have to worry about making perfect potato boats to fill. I have never been able to do that without making a huge mess!

If impressing your friends and family on Thanksgiving is on your to-do list, be sure to serve your potatoes this way. They look hard to make, but they’re not. And every guest gets an individual “cupcake”, which will make them feel special. How Oprah of you!
