Notes
- Once your potato nests are baked, this with a fork, insert it in the center of the potato nest and you’ll find it tender smooth.
- These Easter egg tart in potato nests can be prepared in advance, but only assembled the same day. So the potato nests and eggs may be prepared a couple days ahead of time. However, you’ll need to re-crisp the potato nests for 10 mins in a 350-degree oven. No need for the muffin pan, just place them on a baking sheet for re-crisping.
- For cooking the eggs perfectly, place your eggs in cold water and bring the water to a boil. Once it starts boiling and rolling, turn off the heat, cover your pot and let the eggs sit in the pot for 15 mins.
