Ingredients
– 5 lb. russet potatoes peeled and boiled until fork tender
– 8 whole egg yolks
– 1 stick butter softened
– 2 tsp. salt adjust to taste
– Black pepper plenty
– 1/4 tsp. nutmeg plus more to taste
– 1 1/4 cups heavy cream
– 1 whole egg
Instructions
1-Preheat your oven to 375 degrees, as thatโs the key temperature for getting that golden finish. Lay the boiled potatoes on a baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes until theyโre slightly dried on the surface this step helps achieve a better texture by removing extra moisture.
2-Once cooled for about 5 minutes, process the potatoes through a ricer or food mill to get them super smooth. Then, mix in the egg yolks, softened butter, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and 3/4 cup heavy cream, stirring everything together until itโs well combined and seasoned just right. Transfer this mixture to a large pastry bag with a star tip, and pipe it into fun circular, upward spirals on your baking sheet. Donโt forget to mix the whole egg with 1/2 cup heavy cream for an egg wash, and brush it lightly over the piped potatoes chilling them for 30 minutes first makes this step easier if youโre feeling precise.
3-Finally, bake at 375 degrees for 20-25 minutes until theyโre golden brown around the edges, and serve them up on a platter for a dish thatโs ready to impress.
