Ingredients
- 1 large potato Idaho partially cooked
- olive oil
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup cooked meat ham, corned beef, bacon
- Shredded cheese for topping
- green onions diced for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. With cooking spray, lightly coat the tart pans (or muffin tin).
- Bake the potato in the oven until it's partially cooked, about 25-30 minutes and let cool (you don't want it mushy otherwise it won't shred nicely). Remove skin with a paring knife and using the large holed grate, shred potato.
- Put about 2 tablespoons of shredded potato on the bottom of each tart pan and gently pat into place forming the crust. Brush a light coat of olive oil on top of the potatoes and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake for 15 minutes. Turn up the heat to 425 degrees the last 5-7 minutes if they aren't turning light brown. Remove from the oven.
- Whisk eggs, and milk together, and pour egg mixture into a greased large skillet on medium heat. Cook for about 2 minutes and sprinkle with salt and pepper. As the eggs begin to form, fold in meat. Once cooked, remove from heat and add to prepared potato nests. Top with cheese and return to the oven until the cheese melts (about 4-5 minutes). Garnish with green onions.
Notes
- If you use a muffin tin to mold the nests, you may need an additional potato to fill the tins.
