Last updated on October 9th, 2025 at 07:46 pm

Looking for a delicious appetizer for game night, a party or potluck, or just to snack on? Here’s one of our favorites–loaded baked potato cups.

I love potatoes–baked, mashed, hash browns, and potato skins, but this savory appetizer is one of my absolute favorite ways to enjoy potatoes. Make these for a your next get-together, and they’ll be snapped up in no time! They’re also a perfect as a side dish, and I even like them for a light meal. 

You can make these loaded baked potato cups vegetarian by just skipping the bacon.

And, feel free to experiment with the filling. We have a couple of ideas for you.
