Stuffed Mashed Potato Nests

Ingredients (Makes 6 nests)

3 large potatoes, peeled and cubed

2 tbsp butter

¼ cup milk

½ tsp salt

¼ tsp black pepper

½ cup grated cheddar cheese

1 egg, beaten

½ cup cooked chicken or sautéed vegetables (for stuffing)

2 tbsp chopped green onions (optional)

Cooking spray or a little oil for greasing

Instructions

Boil potatoes until fork-tender (10–15 mins). Drain and mash with butter, milk, salt, and pepper.

Let mash cool slightly, then mix in the egg and half the cheese.

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a muffin tin.

Spoon mashed potatoes into muffin cups, pressing down and up the sides to form a nest shape.

Fill each nest with cooked chicken or veggie mixture.

Sprinkle remaining cheese on top.

Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden and crisp around edges.

Let cool for 5 minutes before removing. Garnish with green onions.
