Potato Nests
250 Ways to Cook Potatoes
Culinary Arts Institute, Edited by Ruth Berolzheimer, 1950

"Crispy potato nests for holding creamed foods are easy to make."

 Pare 3 large potatoes, cut lengthwise into tiny strips.  Heat in small amount of  fat until nearly tender but not brown.

Remove from fat, sprinkle with salt, and arrange potatoes against sides and bottom of  large, deep muffin pans, pressing firmly into place.

Bake in hot oven (450) 15 minutes. Serve hot, filled with any creamed fish, meat or poultry.  Makes 6 nests.

(Cut potatoes into thin slices as for chips or with lattice vegetable cutter instead of into strips and use as above.)
