Critical Success Points

  • Drain the grated potatoes to avoid excess moisture.
  • Form the nests by pressing the batter firmly against the mold walls.
  • Initial bake until golden colour.
  • Final bake to keep the egg yolk runny.
  • Unmould gently to avoid breaking the nests.

Safety Warnings

  • Use kitchen gloves or mitts when handling hot molds.
  • Hot olive oil can splatter: keep your face away.
