I made these for a wedding reception, and they disappeared in a blink! I was also making Irish Potatoes Skins, so I used the scooped out insides of the baked potatoes instead of boiling. Worked like a charm. In fact, everyone raved about them, and I didn't even get a taste myself! I am making more right now!
