Ingredients

• 2 pounds Russet potatoes
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cups Heavy cream
• 3 large Egg yolks
• 1 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
• 1 egg mixture Egg wash (1 egg and 1 tablespoon water, whisked)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into uniform chunks.

Step 2

Place the potato chunks in a large pot, cover with cold water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes or until fork-tender.

Step 3

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 4

Drain the cooked potatoes in a colander and allow them to sit for a minute to release excess moisture.

Step 5

Pass the potatoes through a potato ricer or mash them until completely smooth. Avoid overmixing, as this can make them gummy.

Step 6

Transfer the mashed potatoes to a mixing bowl and stir in the butter, heavy cream, salt, pepper, and nutmeg until the butter is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.

Step 7

Let the potato mixture cool slightly before stirring in the egg yolks and Parmesan cheese (if using). Mix until well combined.

Step 8

Transfer the mixture to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip.

Step 9

Pipe the potatoes onto the prepared baking sheet in swirled mounds, about 2 inches apart.

Step 10

Lightly brush the tops of the potatoes with the egg wash to enhance browning.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes or until the tops are golden and slightly crisp.

Step 12

Remove the duchess potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your elegant and delicious side dish!
