Time 1h10m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups shredded potatoes (I use frozen and thaw them before measuring)
2 tablespoons onions, minced
4 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated
freshly grated nutmeg
kosher salt
freshly cracked peppercorn
butter, to grease the muffin tins
parsley (to garnish)
English cucumber
1/2 teaspoon of fresh mint, minced
2 teaspoons rice wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 dash cayenne

Steps:

  • Prepare the Potato Cups.
  • Preheat oven to 350° degrees F.
  • Mix together the potatoes, onion, Parmesan, nutmeg, salt and pepper. Generously butter 6 muffin tins, 2-1/2" size. Press the potato mixture evenly into the muffin cups. Bake 45 minutes or until the edges are well browned.
  • Remove from the oven to a rack to cool slightly. Loosen and invert the potato cups onto a plate.
  • Prepare Marinated Cucumber Slices.
  • While the potatoes are baking, notch the edges of the cucumber with the tines of a fork. Using a mandoline slice approximately 7 to 8 slices per person.
  • Mix the mint, vinegar, sugar and cayenne together and marinate the cucumber slices for approximately 30 minutes.
  • To Plate Up: Overlap the marinated cucumber slices in a circle off to the side on each plate. Place the inverted potato cup on top, add a sprig of Parsley and serve.
