Steps:
- Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Generously coat 2 6-compartment non-stick muffin tins with cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, egg and flour, adding just enough flour so mixture "sticks together". Divide evenly among the prepared muffin compartments. Using the back of a spoon, firmly press potato mixture into bottom and up sides of each compartment, making a "well" in each.
- Place in oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until just starting to brown. Remove from oven and divide shredded cheese evenly among cups and top each with crumbled bacon. Return to oven and bake another 5-10 minutes or until "baskets" are golden brown and cheese and bacon is hot, melted and bubbly.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes. To serve: gently run the tip of a sharp knife blade around rim of each cup to loosen. Release each basket and place on serving platter.

Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: For this recipe, it's best to use small, round potatoes that will hold their shape well when cooked. Baby potatoes or new potatoes are a good choice.
- Cook the potatoes until they are tender but still firm: You don't want the potatoes to be too soft, or they will fall apart when you try to shape them into baskets.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the potatoes into even slices: This will help ensure that the baskets cook evenly.
- Be careful when frying the potato slices: Don't overcrowd the pan, or the potatoes will not cook evenly. And don't stir the potatoes too much, or they will break apart.
- Drain the potato slices on paper towels: This will help remove excess oil.
- Use your favorite fillings: This recipe is very versatile, so you can use whatever fillings you like. Some popular options include smoked salmon, cream cheese, caviar, and chopped vegetables.
Conclusion:
These mini potato baskets are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are sure to impress your guests, and they are also a great way to use up leftover potatoes. So next time you have a party or gathering, give this recipe a try!
