  8. Mash the insides of the potatoes with a potato masher or fork.
  9. Add the coconut cream, lemon juice, salt, nutritional yeast and olive oil. Sprinkle with a little black pepper. Mash together until evenly mixed.
  10. Combine the potato mixture with the spinach artichoke mixture. Taste to adjust salt.
  11. Scoop into the hollowed potato skins.
  12. Bake at 400 for about 15 minutes.
  13. Turn on the broiler and broil until lightly brown on top about 5 minutes.
