First, drain the boiled potatoes and refrigerate them until they're completely cold.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, sauté the diced zucchini in 1 teaspoon olive oil for about 2 minutes. In a small bowl, mix the sautéed zucchini, diced tomatoes, mozzarella, oregano, hot sauce, and salt. Combine well and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Preheat your oven to 425°F. Lightly grease 6 cups of your muffin sheet. (A mini muffin tray works too.) Peel and coarsely grate the chilled potatoes. Gently toss the grated potatoes with salt and pepper in a bowl. In each muffin cup, place about 2 heaped tablespoons of the potato mixture and press against the bottom and up the sides. Don't spread or press the mixture too hard, or holes will form while baking.
Remove the nests from the oven and let them cool in the muffin sheet for 10 minutes. Carefully remove them from the muffin sheet and place them on a baking sheet lined with paper towels to set at room temperature.
Just before serving, preheat the oven to 375°F.
