My aunt brought these to our Fourth of July cookout and the platter was empty in minutes. Three ingredients is all it takes.

These Oven Baked Crispy Potato Nest Cups transform simple shredded potatoes into crunchy, golden-brown baskets infused with savory Parmesan. Pressing the seasoned potatoes directly into a muffin tin creates delicate, crispy edges that make an eye-catching base for serving scrambled eggs, bacon, or your favorite savory fillings.

Oven Baked 3-Ingredient Crispy Potato Nest Cups

Ingredients:

Step-By-Step Directions:

1. Preheat and prep: Heat your oven to 400°F and generously grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or oil.

2. Dry the potatoes: Place the shredded potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and wring out as much excess moisture as possible so they crisp up rather than steam.

3. Combine ingredients: In a mixing bowl, toss the dried shredded potatoes with the finely shredded Parmesan cheese and olive oil until evenly coated throughout.

4. Form the nests: Divide the potato mixture evenly among the 12 muffin cups. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of each cup to shape them into little nests.

5. Bake and cool: Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the edges are deeply golden and crisp. Let the nests cool in the pan for 5 minutes before gently running a knife around the edges to lift them out and serve.
