Potato Nests
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 tin
butter to grease muffin tin

In a medium bowl mix together potatoes, onion, egg, salt and pepper.  Generously butter muffin tin. 

For each potato nest, spoon 2 tablespoons potato mixture into the palm of your hand, form into a ball and squeeze out excess liquid. Fit potato mixture into a muffin cup forming a basket with the help of a clean wine cork.  Repeat this process with the remaining potato mixture until all 12 muffin cups are filled.

Bake on bottom rack of oven at 400° for 40 minutes.  Remove from oven to cool.  The baskets can be made ahead of time; put them in the oven at a low temperature to crisp up before filling them.

Make the easy filling (recipe follows).



Filling
1/4 cup sour cream
zest from 1 lemon, divided
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
3/4 teaspoon dill weed
1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
Arugula, shredded for garnish

In a small bowl mix together sour cream, 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest, lemon juice, dill weed and salt.  Spoon 1 teaspoon filling into each baked potato nest, garnish with arugula and the remaining lemon zest.
