Duchess Potatoes
Duchess Potatoes look fancy, but they are easy to make and pipe right on to a baking sheet. They are pillowy-soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside, and you can freeze them ahead of time to bake when needed.

📝 Preparation Steps
1
Adjust oven racks to the upper middle and lower middle positions and preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
2
In a Dutch oven or large stockpot, add potatoes and 1 tablespoon salt. Add cold water to cover potatoes by 1 inch.
3
Over medium-high heat, bring to boil and partially cover pot. Cook until potatoes are tender when pierced with a paring knife, stirring once or twice, about 10 to ⏱️ 15 minutes. Drain well, tossing in colander to remove excess water.
4
Wipe pot dry. Return potatoes to pot and mash until very smooth. Using a rubber spatula, fold in egg yolks one at a time, making sure each yolk is completely incorporated before adding the next.
5
Stir in the butter, cream, nutmeg, and salt and pepper (I like 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper) until the mixture is smooth.
6
Transfer to a large piping bag fitted with a 1/2-inch star piping tip and pipe 12 round mounds (2 1/2 inches wide by 2 inches tall) onto each prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Sprinkle with the cheese.
7
Place both sheets in the oven and bake for ⏱️ 15 minutes. Rotate the pans top to bottom and front to back and continue baking until the tops of the potatoes are light golden brown, about ⏱️ 10 minutes longer. Garnish with minced fresh parsley if desired.
