DUCHESS POTATOES RECIPES

Steps:

• Prepare a piping bag with large open star tip.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
• Fill a 3-quart pot with 4 inches water and 1 teaspoon salt. Add potatoes; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; simmer until tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain; return potatoes to the pot.
• Cook potatoes over low heat until remaining water steams off, about 3 minutes. Let cool, at least 15 minutes.
• Place potatoes in a food processor and process until smooth. Let stand for 5 minutes. Add butter, egg yolks, remaining 1 teaspoon salt, nutmeg, and pepper. Mix until just combined; spoon into the piping bag.
• Pipe potato mixture onto the prepared baking sheet into eighteen 2-inch rosettes with a circular motion, finishing with a small peak in the center. Refrigerate until slightly firmer, about 25 minutes.
• Mix egg and heavy cream together in a bowl; brush mixture onto the rosettes.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes.

Steps:

• Cook the potatoes in boiling water until fork-tender (about 25 minutes) drain and place in a large mixing bowl.
• Cool the potatoes for about 20 minutes at room temperature.
• Add in eggs and 7 tablespoons melted butter, pinch dill, pinch garlic powder, salt, pepper and parmesan cheese; add in 3 tablespoons cream adding in more to achieve desired consistency (you might use up to 7 tablespoons cream).
• Season with more salt and pepper if needed to taste.
• Spoon the potato mixture into a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip.
• Pipe the mixture into 12 mounds onto a large greased baking sheet/s.
• Melt the 1/3-1/2 cup butter and drizzle over the potatoes.
• Sprinkle a very small amount of paprika over each mound (this is only optional).
• Set oven to 400°F.
• Bake for about 18-20 minutes or until golden brown.
• Delicious!
