Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Spray a 12-cup metal muffin pan with cooking spray. Divide the grated potatoes among the muffin cups and press firmly into the bottom and sides, forming a bowl shape. Bake until golden brown around the edges, 25–30 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, cook the pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water according to package directions. Drain and set aside.

  3. In a medium saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Add the milk and stir constantly until the milk thickens slightly, about 2 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and add salt, cayenne pepper, and nutmeg. Gradually add the Gruyere and Cheddar and stir until the cheeses melt, about 2 minutes. Stir in the pasta.
  4. Divide the mac and cheese among the baked potato-lined muffin tins. Bake in the oven until the tops are golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes.
  5. Meanwhile, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and mix with the breadcrumbs. Remove the mac and cheese from the oven, sprinkle with the breadcrumbs, and bake until the breadcrumbs are golden brown, about 5 more minutes. Sprinkle with green onions and serve.
