Description
Creamy inside with crisp, golden edges, these Duchess Potatoes are an elegant side that pairs well with any main dish.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 large egg yolks
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
- 1 egg, beaten (for brushing)
Instructions
- Boil the potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot, allowing them to steam to remove excess moisture.
- Mash the potatoes until smooth and add the butter, cream, egg yolks, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Mix until creamy and taste to adjust the seasoning.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Spoon the potato mixture into a piping bag fitted with a star tip and pipe onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Brush the tops with beaten egg and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until lightly browned and crisp. Serve warm.
Notes
Serve with roast meats or vegetables. For extra flavor, consider adding herbs or cheeses to the mixture.
