Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 6 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 cup Sharp cheddar cheese, grated
- 3 large Egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground white pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons Chives, finely chopped (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Peel and roughly chop the russet potatoes. Place them in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil over high heat.
Step 3
Reduce the heat to medium and simmer the potatoes until fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Drain the potatoes well and return them to the pot.
Step 4
Mash the potatoes until smooth using a potato masher or ricer. Avoid overworking to prevent a gummy texture.
Step 5
Stir in the butter, heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, sharp cheddar cheese, salt, white pepper, and nutmeg until combined and smooth.
Step 6
Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then mix in the egg yolks one at a time until fully incorporated.
Step 7
Transfer the mashed potato mixture to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip.
Step 8
Pipe small, spiral-shaped mounds of the potato mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly.
Step 9
Optional: Sprinkle the tops with finely chopped chives for added flavor and presentation.
Step 10
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the potato puffs are golden brown on top.
Step 11
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
