4. Fill and assemble
Spoon the meat mixture into each potato nest, pressing gently to fill them well.
Sprinkle shredded cheese on top of each nest.
For decorative variety, you can leave some nests without cheese and score the tops with a fork as shown in the photo.
5. Bake
Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F).
Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the cheese melts and turns golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serving Suggestions
Serve warm with a fresh green salad or yogurt sauce.
Drizzle with melted butter or garlic yogurt for extra richness.
They also pair wonderfully with roasted vegetables.
Tips for Perfect Results
Adding dill to the potato gives extra freshness, but you can replace it with parsley.
Don’t skip the egg; it helps the potato nests keep their shape during baking.
The filling can be customized with mushrooms, peas, corn, or spices like cumin.
For a creamier texture, add a spoon of cream cheese into the potato mixture.
