STUFFED POTATO NESTS –

To make this recipe, we can recycle vegetables and cheeses from the fridge or use leftover mashed potatoes with taste and imagination.

• Dose: for 8 potato nests
• difficulty: simple
• Cooking time: 15 minutes in the oven

INGREDIENTS

• 500 gr potatoes
• 1 egg
• 50g grated Parmesan cheese
• A knob of butter
• Salt and Pepper To Taste
• 300g of vegetables of your choice (spinach, radicchio, etc.)
• 100g of cheese

PREPARATION

• We wash and dry the potatoes, boil them in plenty of salted water, once they have cooled down remove the peel and mash them with a potato masher
• In a large bowl, place the potatoes, egg, parmesan, salt, pepper and a knob of butter, mix all the ingredients well and then put the resulting mixture in a piping bag with the widest nozzle.
• We wash and boil the vegetables we intend to use and let them cool.
• Using a mixer or food processor, roughly chop the vegetables together with the cheeses; they will be used as filling for our nests.
• Take the baking tray and cover it with baking paper.
• Using a pastry bag, we create a basic circle with a diameter of 8/10 centimetres and then we form a cord around the circle, leaving a hole in the centre where we will insert the filling.
• Bake the nests for about 15 minutes at 180° until they become slightly crispy and then add the filling.
• Now let's move on to grilling: we insert the filling into the nests and then bake for another 5 minutes allowing the cheeses to melt.
• We bring them to the table piping hot
