Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large potatoes
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Cooking spray or oil for greasing
- Optional toppings: chopped green onions, diced bell peppers, cooked bacon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Peel the potatoes and grate them. Rinse the grated potatoes under cold water to wash away excess starch, then dry them thoroughly.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes with salt and pepper.
- Generously grease a muffin tin with cooking spray or oil.
- Pack the seasoned grated potatoes into each muffin cup to form basket shapes.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the potato baskets are crispy and golden brown.
- Carefully remove the muffin tin from the oven. Crack an egg into each crispy potato basket.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese on top of every egg. Return to the oven for another 10-15 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked to your liking.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with any optional toppings you desire.
Notes
For the best crispy results, make sure to dry the grated potatoes thoroughly. Experiment with seasoning to enhance flavor.
