Potaotoe and cheese birds nest

These little nests are delicious, easy to make, and can be customized to your own tastes.
Potato nests are a recipe for the perfect appetizer for a family dinner or brunch. These potato nests are stuffed are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside!
It is a really cool presentation and they do take a little time to make but they aren’t hard. You just have to fuss a little to get them to release from the molds. But your guests will appreciate the effort.
I filled them with salsa and eggs but the possibilities for fillings are endless. I used Parmigiano but you can use parmesan cheese as well. If using Parmigiano, adjust the salt in the potatoes as Parmigiano is salty.
If you've been eating your potatoes without a filling, you don't know what you've been missing!
