Fill the space between the wire baskets made for this purpose with raw potatoes, shredded or sliced, and fry one at a time in not fat until tender and browned. Remove from the basket and drain on soft paper. Have ready potatoes, cut in small olive or ball shapes (French cutter) fried in hot fat, drained and sprinkled with salt. Dispose these in the nests and sprinkle with fine-chopped parsley. Serve on a folded napkin, or omit the napkin and surround with parsley. The wire baskets for shaping these nests come in several sizes. The small size is for individual service. The larger size is for serving three or four people.
