Instead of another potato casserole on your Thanksgiving table, try these adorable twice baked potatoes. With all of the sweetness of your favorite candied potatoes, these potatoes are sooooo delicious! Top each one with marshmallows, pom arils, cherries, pecans….or any combination! Do you have a guest who doesn’t like pecans? Give him/her a special potato with double marshmallows!
