- Gently roll the hard-boiled eggs until the shells begin to crack but remain intact. Submerge 3 of the eggs in the basil pesto and 3 of the eggs in the sun-dried tomato pesto and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight.
- Combine the grated potatoes and potato starch and spoon the mixture into a bundt pan. Bring the vegetable oil to a boil in a large pot, carefully pour it over the potatoes in the bundt pan, and let the potatoes fry for about 5 minutes.
