Delicious Take on the traditional dish
Potatoes are my main comfort food - and how my family got over from Ireland to the US! These potato cupcakes are a favorite of ours, and based on the delicious twice baked potatoes at Jeff Ruby restaurants in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375 Degrees Fahrenheit. Wash potatoes well and allow to dry on a paper towel or clean towel. Stick 4-5 times deeply with a fork and bake in the over at 375 Degrees Fahrenheit for 45 minutes, until tender. Keep oven on, you will literally bake these twice.
Step 2
Cut the end off of each potato to form a flat surface. Then cut in half horizontally. You will have two stumpy halves.
Step 3
With a spoon, carefully scoop out the inside of the potato into a small bowl, leaving a shell.
Step 4
Mash the potatoes well, adding in 2 TBSP butter and 1/4 cup of fat free half and half.
Step 5
Shred between 3-5 ounces of cheese (to taste) into the potatoes, mixing well. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Step 6
Scoop the cheesy potato mixture into the shells evenly. Top with cheddar cheese and bake at 375 Degrees Fahrenheit for 15 miutes.
Step 7
Voila! A cheese filled potato cupcake! Serve in cupcake liners for something a little special.
