Roasted Potatoes filled with Loaded Guacamole-7523

I apologize, I was a little lazy around Easter time and didn’t post any Easter recipes.  It’s not that I don’t like deviled eggs or hot crossed buns (I actually don’t think I’ve ever had hot crossed buns before, but once upon a time I did learn how to play the song on the piano!), I guess I just wasn’t feeling super inspired.  When I was a kid we had the most amazing Easter egg hunts and Easter potluck (the Easter egg hunts were seriously the best in the world and better than any kid could ever ask for!), but now that I’m older, I don’t really do much Easter celebrating. 

I do, however, do some mean Cinco De Mayo celebrating!  If you’re familiar with my blog, you know that I can’t get enough Mexican food.  So, I guess you could say that I’m celebrating Cinco De Mayo and sharing this recipe as an excuse to post yet another Mexican recipe on here.  I hope you don’t mind!  And, since I neglected to give you an Easter recipe, I’ve kinda combined the two holidays into one with this dish.  Maybe we can call it “Easter/Cinco De Mayo Fusion”??  Something about that phrase makes me think of hard boiled eggs and tequila…  Maybe I’ll have to think of something else to call it!  Regardless of what we call it, this recipe is super easy and delicious and there is a chance that I made it while my husband was out of town and then ate them all for dinner…

Use a melon baller or sharp teaspoon to scoop out the inside of the potato.  PS-if you roast the little balls of potato with some olive oil and spices, they are just like tater tots!

Then put them in the oven with some delicious spices until they are roasty toasty!

I promise after this I will start posting recipes that don’t involve avocados every week, but sometimes I just can’t help myself!

Ingredients

Roasted Potato Cups

  • 1.5 pounds baby red potatoes, or 1 small bag
  • 1/2 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper

Loaded Guacamole

  • 1 and 1/2 avocado
  • 1/2 cup corn kernels, frozen, canned, or fresh
  • 1/2 cup black beans
  • 1/2 cup chopped tomato
  • 1/4 cup diced red onion
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Juice of 1/2 a lemon or lime
  • 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Radish, cut into matchsticks to garnish, if desired
  • Cilantro leaves for garnish, if desired

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Cut each potato in half and using a melon baller or sharp teaspoon, scoop out the inside of the potato leaving about 1/4 inch border.
  3. Put potatoes in a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil and season with spices.
  4. Place potatoes on a large sheet pan and put in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, flipping once, until potatoes are fork tender. Let cool for a few minutes.
  5. In a medium sized bowl add the avocado slices and mash them.
  6. Then add the remaining guacamole ingredients and stir until combined.
  7. Scoop a small spoonful of guacamole mixture into each potato cup.
  8. Garnish with radish matchsticks and cilantro leaves, if desired.

Notes

*Best when served immediately while potatoes are still slightly warm.
*If transporting, cover with plastic wrap and make sure the plastic wrap is directly touching the guacamole to ensure that is stays nice and green.

    I *love* avocado, so keep the avo recipes coming! These little potato cups sound so good! Perfect little appetizer alongside chips and salsa. I also love your idea of roasting the little scooped out potato balls!

      Hi Natalie! I love it to and think that I’ve become obsessed with it lately! It doesn’t help that they seem to be on sale for super cheap every single time I go to the store. These would definitely go well alongside some chips and salsa, I actually don’t think I can think of a single thing that wouldn’t go well with chips and salsa 🙂 (just now, both times I accidentally typed salad instead of salsa, haha!)

    These look delicious Izzy! I’m such a fan of potatoes, but never seem to eat them often. We don’t do much for Easter either, though we should be going to church. :-/ Maybe when the girls get a bit older… 🙂

    P.s. Your kitty is so cute!!

      Thanks, Lauren!! I’m a huge fan of potatoes too and I probably eat enough for the both of us! I always loved going on Easter egg hunts as a kid, we literally lived out in the middle of nowhere in the woods and my friend’s mom would create these really amazing, long Easter egg hunts for us to go on. Maybe when I have kids I’ll have to start up some Easter traditions 🙂

    Can I come over for dinner?! Honestly, you’re so talented! These look incredible. I have about 5 of your recipes bookmarked to try in the next couple of weeks. These look particularly amazing! And I love avocados! I’m perfectly okay with you posting all avocado recipes, all the time hehe. I like your thinking with the Easter/Cinco De Mayo Fusion! …and I kind of love a solo dinner -I would also eat all of these if left alone 🙂

      Thanks so much, Allison! Yes! Please do come over for dinner, that would be so much fun! Maybe I should change my blog to She Likes Avocados? haha. As much as I like cooking for others, I love a solo dinner too, I only have one person to please and that person can easily be pleased with taco salad or potatoes with guacamole. Last night I got home and dipped chips into the leftover ones and then heated the potatoes and ate them with salsa, and that was dinner 🙂

    These potatoes look delicious! I really like the idea of scooping the inside of the potatos to fill them with the guacamole.

      Thanks, Cindy! Avocados and potatoes are two of my favorite things, so it only made sense to combine them 🙂 Sometimes I buy potatoes just to scoop out little balls to make “tater tots” with, they are so good!

      Hi Stephanie! Thank you so much! My husband doesn’t really care for avocado and it used to make me a little mad, (because who doesn’t like avocado??) but now I don’t mind because I know that whenever I make guacamole I get to eat all of it 🙂

    We made these along with a goat cheese/almond butter spinach stuffed pork loin. By far the BEST guac I have made. Took me over 40 minutes to relocate the recipe because I didn’t bookmark it some how. Well worth my search! Dinner for 12 tonight and they will be treated to your AMAZING guacamole dish while they wait!

    I can’t believe it took me 3 years to find this recipe. Where has this been all my life?!?!? Newly vegan and experimenting with different ways to eat my favorite things (and still make my picky roommate happy), I threw this together last night.

    We used an assortment of small potatoes we had on hand a layer of refried pinto beans, cilantro lime white rice, and topped it off with the loaded guac (added black olives and a dash of cumin). DELISH!!! Thanks for sharing!

    I absolutely love your recipe! I am writing vegetarian recipe round ups on my blog in 2018 (to encourage people to try meatless monday- everyone has to start somewhere) and would love to feature your potato cups. You can check out my blog (for beginner environmentalists) at sunshineguerrilla.com. Is it alright if I share this link to your recipe?
