Pomme Duchess

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs. yellow potatoes
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Start by bringing a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Peel your potatoes, cut them into chunks, and cook for about 25 minutes, or until they’re fork-tender.
  • While the potatoes are cooking, preheat your oven to 400°F. Spray a baking tray with nonstick spray so your little potato swirls don’t stick.
  • Drain the potatoes and let them cool off for about 5 minutes. Add them to a mixing bowl with half of the butter, the cream, salt, and pepper. Mash until smooth and dreamy.
  • Mix in the egg yolks and mash just until combined. Don’t overdo it, you want them creamy, not gummy.
  • Grab a piping bag fitted with a star tip, fill it with the mashed potatoes, and pipe swirls onto your prepared baking tray. Think ice cream swirls, but potato-style.
  • Melt the remaining butter in the microwave (20–30 seconds) and lightly brush it over the tops of your piped potatoes.
  • Pop the tray in the oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, until the tops are beautifully golden brown.
  • Plate them up and watch your guests’ eyes light up. They’re crispy, fluffy, buttery perfection!
