When I removed the heart-shaped potatoes from the oven, they left an interesting work of art on my baking pan. You do have to carefully remove the stacks with a spatula and gently place them on the plate. Remove the toothpick just before serving.

These stacked potatoes are so adorable and creative!
Thank you, Amy! I’ve also made them with different sized heart cutters, so the potatoes stack from large to small.
