Ingredients

• 2 large Russet potatoes
• 1 cup Gruyere cheese
• 6 slices Prosciutto
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil or a nonstick spray.

Step 2

Peel the russet potatoes and shred them using a box grater or a food processor with a shredding attachment. Place the shredded potatoes in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded potatoes, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the potatoes are evenly coated.

Step 4

Divide the potato mixture evenly among the 12 muffin cups, pressing the potatoes down and up the sides to form a small nest or cup shape in each one.

Step 5

Bake the potato cups in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy around the edges.

Step 6

While the potato cups are baking, cut each slice of prosciutto into two or three smaller pieces (depending on size) and shred the Gruyere cheese if not pre-shredded.

Step 7

Once the potato cups are done, remove the muffin tin from the oven and carefully fill each cup with a generous pinch of shredded Gruyere cheese and a piece of prosciutto.

Step 8

Return the muffin tin to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the prosciutto is lightly crisped.

Step 9

Remove the potato cups from the muffin tin and allow them to cool for 2-3 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm as a savory appetizer or snack. Enjoy!
