To prevent sticking, grease the muffin tin well or use silicone molds for easy release. If making ahead, you can prepare both the potato nests and filling separately.
refrigerate, and then assemble and bake when ready to serve. Adding a sprinkle of fresh herbs or a drizzle of sour cream before serving can elevate the flavor and presentation even further.
