5. Pour the potato tubers in a saucepan with cold water, add salt, put on high heat and bring the water to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cook the potatoes until they are almost cooked through (about 20 minutes). The potatoes should not be boiled, otherwise it will be difficult to grate them.

11. The mold can be sent to the oven at this stage and the baskets can be baked for about 15 minutes so that the potatoes are well browned. But if you do not have time or you like mashed potatoes more than well-fried potatoes, then go directly to the next step.
12. Drive one egg into the potato baskets.
13. If you have large eggs, after breaking, separate the whites into a separate container, and put the yolks in baskets. Then add the required amount of egg white. If a large egg is immediately driven into potato baskets whole, then the protein will come out of the cells.
