   Allow the potatoes to bake until they are tender.
   
   This will take about 45 to 60 minutes., Once the potatoes are baked, take them out of the oven and let them cool enough so that you can handle them.

   You will need 3 to 4 tablespoons (60 to 80 grams) of grated potato for each muffin well.
   
   Make sure that the well in each nest is big enough to hold an egg. , If you don't have cooking spray, you can lightly brush the top of each nest with a little oil instead., If you have not already, raise the temperature in your oven to 425°F (219°C).
   
   Once the oven reaches the correct temperature, put the muffin tin back inside the oven.
   
   Let the nests bake for 15 to 20 minutes.
   
   Keep a close eye on them and don't let them burn.
   
   You will continue cooking them in a moment., The egg should sit neatly in the wells you made earlier.
   
   Sprinkle the nests with more salt and pepper.
   
   If you want to, you can add some extras, such as herbs or sautéed vegetables., They are ready when the whites are set., After about 5 minutes, pop them out of the muffin tin, and transfer them to a plate.Serve them while they are still warm.
