Today’s post is sponsored by Maille. Opinions are my own and I appreciate your support of the brands and companies that support What Should I Make For…

These decadently flavorful mini cheesy twice-baked potatoes are THE perfectly sharable appetizer for the holidays. Bite-size bliss with amped up flavor thanks to the addition of Maille Dijon Originale.

That’s right, the addition of Maille Dijon Originale is transformational in the cheesy potato game. It adds the right amount of tang and robustness that compliments the creaminess of these potatoes.

Just a spoonful of Maille elevates this dish and gives it depth. These twice-baked potatoes are also extra creamy because not only is cheddar cheese folded into the filling, but cream cheese and sour cream too! A sprinkle of fresh chives and parsley round it out and of course be sure to season with salt and pepper.

Mini twice-baked potatoes are dream to make when you’re entertaining. They’re perfectly portioned to just pop in our mouth and can easily be made ahead (even frozen) and baked as your guests arrive.

Let’s make Mini Cheesy Twice-Baked Potatoes

Step by step photos showing how to make Mini Cheesy Twice-Baked Potatoes.
  1. Microwave the baby potatoes until tender.
  2. Slice in half lengthwise and scoop out the potato, leaving about 1/8 inch around the skin.
  3. Combine the scooped out potatoes with the remaining ingredients.
  4. Stir well to combine.
  5. Fill the potato skin shells and top with cheese.
  6. Bake until hot and golden brown. Serve warm garnished with herbs.

Tips for success

  • Don’t scoop the potatoes too close to the edge as they might collapse when baking.
  • When filling the potato skin shells, be sure to mound the filling and press it in lightly.
  • Carefully place the filled potatoes in the oven so they don’t tip over.
  • If a filled potato half does tip over during baking, simply set it right, pop the filling back in, and continue baking. A sprinkle of cheese will cover any mistakes!
  • Broiling the twice-baked potatoes for a couple minutes before serving will give it a golden brown crust, but it isn’t necessary.
  • Filled, unbaked shells can be tightly wrapped and frozen for up to 1 month. Bake directly from frozen, but increase the baking time by 10 mins. Test for doneness.
