Wash and peel the potatoes, cut into pieces and cook in salted water. Drain, steam briefly and mash with milk or cream and butter until creamy. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Using a piping bag with a rosette nozzle (small opening), squirt the potato mixture directly onto six finger food spoons as a wreath for the egg nest.
Fry the quail eggs in a little butter as fried eggs, take them out of the pan and cut out round shapes (cookie cutters or schnapps glass). Put in the potato wreath. Decorate with a party shrimp and herbs or a lamb`s lettuce rosette.
