Equipment

  • Piping bag with star-shaped nozzle
  • Baking tray
  • Parchment paper

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb potatoes
  • 1 egg
  • 0.25 stick butter
  • 0.5 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • 4 oz Swiss cheese, cubed
  • 4 oz thick-cut bacon, cubed
  • 0.5 cup grated parmesan cheese

Instructions
 

  • Peel the potatoes and boil them in lightly salted water.
  • Mash the boiled potatoes until smooth. Add the egg, butter, and parmesan cheese to the mashed potatoes, season with salt and pepper, and mix well. Spoon the mixture into a piping bag with a star-shaped nozzle.
  • Line a baking tray with parchment paper and pipe a 3-inch-wide spiral on the pan. Continue piping the mashed potato mixture higher on the swirl to create a nest with a well inside. Repeat this 5 more times until you have 6 potato nests.
  • Fill the potato nests with the Swiss cheese and bacon cubes and sprinkle parmesan cheese on top. Transfer the baking tray to a preheated oven and cook at 375°F for 20 minutes.

Notes

Of course, you can prepare these hearty cheese nests with a different filling – let your inventiveness know no bounds, and above all, enjoy!
