Duchess Potatoes

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds russet potatoes peeled and cubed
  • ½ cup unsalted butter softened
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley or chives for garnish optional
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for greasing the baking sheet

Instructions

  • Start by placing the peeled and cubed potatoes in a large pot. Fill the pot with water until the potatoes are covered.
  • Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
  • Cook the potatoes for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork. Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly.
  • In a mixing bowl, add the cooked potatoes, unsalted butter, heavy cream, egg yolks, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy. Make sure there are no lumps for the best texture.
  • Pipe the Potatoes:
  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Transfer the mashed potato mixture to a piping bag fitted with a star tip.
  • Pipe dollops of the potato mixture onto a greased baking sheet, creating beautiful swirls.
  • Bake the Potatoes:
  • Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
  • Remove the duchess potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
