Jaxn’s Twice-Baked Potato Stix arrived on this planet due to a little boy in Jasper, Georgia, named Jaxn, who LOVED French fries and was getting just plain fat from eating them. So his mother came up with this delicious crunchy, twice-baked version. True love! Made with all natural ingredients, Jaxn’s Twice-Baked Potato Stix are gluten-free, delicious and the perfect salty crunch to go with a cocktail or cool summer drink. The Sea Salt and Cracked Pepper flavor was included in our MARY’s secret ingredients summer box
I prepared this appetizer to work with cocktails when our friends Margaret and Wayne came over for dinner on the 4th of July. I speared small cherry tomatoes and mini mozzarella cheese balls on these little sticks and made this tasty snack even tastier! Both versions were super delicious, although I preferred the tomatoes.
The potato stix themselves cannot punch the hole in the cheese or tomatoes. Don’t try it – they will break. Take a pair of pointed ended scissors and keep them closed and punch a hole in the cheese balls and the cocktail tomatoes. Stick the potato stick inside and voila! You have a pretty, and tasty appetizer in no time flat!
Next time, I might drizzle a little extra virgin olive oil on top and throw on a few fresh basil leaves too, but it was raining really, really hard and I just couldn’t convince myself to go out in it to the garden to get some. Even if you have some leftover mini meatballs hanging about, they would be great stuck with a Jaxn’s stix! Go crazy and have fun!

Me neither until they joined us in the box. Doesn’t my plate look so darn CUTE with them, Maureen??
Mary brought these to our house, and it was such a lovely (you can see that) addition. What I did with the potato sticks was real simple: (1) tear open the bag, (2) get fingers ready, (3) conduct a “pincers movement” on said potato sticks, (4) grab one or more sticks, (5) aim at mouth, and (6) chew. YUM.
🙂 🙂 🙂 you are so funny!!
Don’t know about them, but they do look very tasty.

Very tasty, Angie!!
I love the story behind these stixs. What a creative mother. They look really pretty as an appetiser when they’re stabbed with tomatoes and cheese xx

Most definitely – they are cute this way, aren’t they? Perfect kid fare – and relatively healthy too!
Twice baked is always good, I want to try them 😀
