Yield: 1
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 10 minutes
Difficulty Level: Easy

Ingredients:

For the colorful hard-boiled eggs:

• 6 hard-boiled eggs
• 1½ cups basil pesto
• 1½ cups sun-dried tomato pesto

For the fried potato nest:

• 2 lbs waxy potatoes, grated
• 3 tbsp potato starch
• 48 fl oz vegetable oil for frying

For the decoration:

• salad greens
• salad dressing
• edible flowers

Instructions:

1. Gently roll the hard-boiled eggs until the shells begin to crack but remain intact. Submerge 3 of the eggs in the basil pesto and 3 of the eggs in the sun-dried tomato basil and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight.

2. Combine the grated potatoes and potato starch and spoon the mixture into a bundt pan. Bring the vegetable oil to a boil in a large pot, carefully pour it over the potatoes in the bundt pan, and let the potatoes fry for about 5 minutes.

3. Arrange the salad greens in a ring on a serving platter. Carefully lift the fried potato nest out of the bundt pan, let the cooking oil drain off, and place it on top of the salad greens. Take the hard-boiled eggs out of the pesto, rinse them off, remove the egg shells, and place them in the center of the fried potato nest. Garnish with salad dressing and edible flowers before serving.
