Place the potato flesh into a medium mixing bowl. Mix in the coconut cream, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mash with a potato masher until mostly smooth. Place shells on a rimmed baking sheet. Divide the mashed potatoes evenly among the potato skin, make sure to smooth the top. Place the potatoes back in the oven at 350 for 20 minutes. Remove from oven when done.
