Duchess Potatoes

Makes 6–8 servings

Ingredients

• 2 lbs Idaho potatoes

• 4 oz whole butter

• 2 egg yolks

• Nutmeg, to taste

• Kosher salt, to taste

• White pepper, to taste

Procedure

1. Cook the Potatoes: Peel and quarter the potatoes. Place them in a pot of boiling, salted water and cook for about 30 minutes, or until tender. Drain and let sit for 10 minutes.

2. Prepare the Mixture: Pass the potatoes through the finest disc of a food mill. Stir in the butter and egg yolks. Season with kosher salt, white pepper, and nutmeg to taste.

3. Pipe the Potatoes: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Transfer the seasoned potato mixture to a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe the mixture in circular motions to form individual mounds.

4. Bake: Bake in a preheated 400°F oven for 10–15 minutes, or until the outside of the potatoes is golden brown.
