Pre-heat oven to 400°F.
Lightly spray a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, mix the first eight ingredients together.
Spoon potato mixture into each prepared muffin cup until about 1/3 full.
Gently press the potato mixture down in the middle and up the sides of each cup.
Bake until golden brown, about 25 to 30 minutes.
While waiting for nests to bake, in a skillet, over medium heat, scramble the eggs.
Once done and removed from the oven, if the nests have puffed up too much in the center, scoop out a little with a teaspoon.
Spoon a few tablespoons of scramble eggs into each nest and top with whipping cream and raspberries, if using.
