Duchess Potatoes

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment or a silicon baking mat.

2. 2

   Lay the boiled potatoes on a baking sheet and place into the oven until slightly dried on the surface, 10 to 15 minutes.

3. 3

   Remove the potatoes from the oven and process through a ricer or food mill.

4. 4

   Allow to cool in a bowl for about 5 minutes.

5. 5

   Add the egg yolks, butter, a couple generous pinches of salt, a generous pinch of pepper, a pinch of nutmeg and 3/4 cup cream.

6. 6

   Stir with a rubber spatula to combine.

7. 7

   Taste and make sure the potatoes have been adequately salted.

8. 8

   Transfer to a large pastry bag and pipe through a large star tip in a circular/upward spiral motion onto the prepared baking sheet.

9. 9

   Make an egg wash by mixing the whole egg with the remaining 1/2 cup cream.

10. 10

    Lightly brush the piped potatoes with the egg wash. (This is a little easier if you chill the piped potatoes for half an hour or so.)

11. 11

    Bake until golden brown around the edges.

12. 12

    Serve on a pretty platter!
