These Roasted Potato Cups with Loaded Guacamole are the perfect party appetizer! They’re packed with tons of flavor and are always a hit!
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.
How To Make Roasted Potato Cups With Loaded Guacamole
- First you want to cut your baby potatoes in half and then use a melon baller or metal teaspoon to scoop out some of the middles. This is the part that takes the longest.
- Then toss them together with some olive oil and spices and roast in the oven until golden brown.
- While they’re roasting, mash the avocado an then add in all the other toppings!
- Scoop a spoonful of loaded guacamole into each potato cup, garnish with some fresh herbs and you’re done!
I promise after this I will start posting recipes that don’t involve avocados every week, but sometimes I just can’t help myself!

- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt

- Cilantro leaves for garnish, if desired
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- 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.
- Put potatoes in a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil and season with spices.
- 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.

Enjoy, We loved 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!
Hi Will!! Thank you so much for you comment! I just made my day! I’m sorry it took you so long to find the recipe again, but I’m so glad you loved it! That means so much to me š I hope everyone really loves these potato cups tonight! Also, a goat cheese, almond butter, and spinach stuffed pork loin sounds amazing!
These mini potato cups are adorable! I love that you filled teem with guacamole! I’m always looking for tasty appetizers. š
Thank you, Tina!! I love tasty appetizer ideas too, sometimes I think I prefer fun appetizers over entrees. Maybe I’ll have to throw an appetizer party soon!
Isadora you are a genius. I LOVE this idea
Haha! Thanks Kathy! There are so many more things I want to stuff inside of potatoes now!
Wow!! These look so delicious!! You have such beautiful photography!! Yum!
Hi Cailee!! Thank you so much for the sweet compliment! They are very delicious š
These looks so good! I love Mexican food and avocado, too. I’ve been really into the combination of sweet potato and avocado lately, so I may have to try that too.
Thanks so much, Joanna! I love sweet potatoes, but I have never tried pairing them with avocado, that is such a great idea!! I’m going to have to try that š
I’m totally obsessed with avocado–it’s an all-day, every-meal, complete food as far as I’m concerned š these look awesome! It’s like chips & guacamole but dressed up and really, really delicious-looking!
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 š
Izzy these look absolutely delicious!! Guacamole on a potato sounds so good!! I love that you used a melon baller to scoop out the potatoes . Very clever š
Thanks, Cindy! Avocados and potatoes are two of my favorite things, so it only made sense to combine them š Sometimes I buy potatoes just to scoop out little balls to make “tater tots” with, they are so good!
These potatoes look delicious! I really like the idea of scooping the inside of the potatos to fill them with the guacamole.
Thanks, Azu! I made a recipe like this a while back and filled them with egg salad, but I think I like this guacamole version much better š
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 š
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 š
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… š
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 š
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 š (just now, both times I accidentally typed salad instead of salsa, haha!)
