Cover the muffin tin with mashed potatoes: the result is a very delicious recipe

Why to use a simple plate when you can make it using mashed potatoes?

Ingredients: 800g boiled potatoes; 1 egg; 80g Parmesan cheese; 20g butter; pepper; salt. Filling: 200g mushrooms; mozzarella cheese; Parmesan cheese.

Directions: 

1) Boil the potatoes, mash them and then add the egg, salt, pepper and Parmesan cheese to them.

2) Use a muffin pan to make the baskets. If you don’t have a muffin pan, use some parchment paper instead. With the potato mixture, make a circle then make two rings (one on top of the other) on top of the circle to make the sides of the basket.

3) Bake the baskets at 190°C for 15 minutes. Wait until they have cooled a bit before filling them with mozzarella cheese, sautéed mushrooms and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.

4) Bake them for an additional 8 minutes and serve hot!
