recipe and photograph created by www.finedinings.com
1/2 pound frozen shredded
hash brown potatoes thawed
1/4 cup onion, finely diced
1 egg, beaten
Salt and pepper, to taste
12
cup mini-muffin pan
butter to grease muffin pan
1/4 cup sour cream
5 bacon slices, cooked crisp, crumbled, divided
2 teaspoons chives, sliced
thin, divided
Salt, as desired
Pepper, to taste
In a medium bowl mix together potatoes, onion, egg,
salt and pepper. Generously butter a mini-muffin pan. For each nest spoon 2 tablespoons
mixture into the palm of your hand, squeeze out excess liquid,
form into a ball and fit into a muffin cup pushing mixture up the
sides forming a basket, I use a wine cork to help with this task. Repeat this process
until all 12 muffin cups are formed.
Bake on bottom rack of oven at 400° for 40 minutes. Remove from oven to cool on a
rack. Baskets can be made ahead of time; put them in the oven at a low temperature to
crisp up before filling them.
In a small bowl mix together sour cream, salt, pepper, crumbled bacon, chives (reserve some for
garnish).
Spoon 1 teaspoon filling into each nest, garnish and serve.
Makes 12
