The name for these spuds hints at their creamy interior. Roasting these melting potatoes at high heat ensures they get crunchy on the outside. Then, adding a little broth at the end allows the potatoes to absorb the liquid, making the insides extra moist.

These were so easy and delicious, like little mashed potato packets in a crispy package. My entire family loved them, the potato lovers and the one that could take or leave them. We had them with sour cream, will try next time with gravy!

Made for the first time but didn't add the chicken broth. Delish but will try adding the broth next time I make.

I will definitely be making these again. They were so creamy and tender and the flavor from the garlic was unbelievable. I didn't have the herbs so I just left them out.
