PATATE ALLA DUCHESSA (DUCHESS POTATOES)

Ingredients: 


1 1/2 lbs yellow or red potatoes 

6 TBSP butter

3/4 c grated Parmesan cheese

3 egg yolks

Salt and pepper to taste

1/4 tsp ground nutmeg, optional


Directions:


Wash potatoes and place in a pot with water.

Bring to a boil and cook potatoes until a fork easily penetrates them.

Drain water and allow to cool a few minutes.

Remove skins from potatoes carefully, in case they are still hot.

Mash potatoes by using a potato ricer. 

This step prevents lumps in the mashed potatoes.

Add all the other ingredients.

Mix well until fully incorporated.

Place mixture into a piping bag fitted with a large star tip.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Begin piping small mounds of potato mix onto the paper (see picture for reference).

Bake in preheated 400 degree oven for about 15 minutes or until a golden crust is formed.

Serve warm.


TIPS:


Make sure to use yellow or red potatoes since they have the best consistency for the success of this recipe.


You can add bacon bits to the potato mixtures if you want richer potatoes.


If potatoes are not golden in 15 minutes, switch oven to broil for a couple minutes to achieve color. Avoid baking longer or potatoes will dry up.
