DUCHESS POTATOES

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.

DUCHESS POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment or a silicon baking mat.
• Lay the boiled potatoes on a baking sheet and place into the oven until slightly dried on the surface, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Remove the potatoes from the oven and process through a ricer or food mill. Allow to cool in a bowl for about 5 minutes.
• Add the egg yolks, butter, a couple generous pinches of salt, a generous pinch of pepper, a pinch of nutmeg and 3/4 cup cream. Stir with a rubber spatula to combine. Taste and make sure the potatoes have been adequately salted.
• Transfer to a large pastry bag and pipe through a large star tip in a circular/upward spiral motion onto the prepared baking sheet.
• Make an egg wash by mixing the whole egg with the remaining 1/2 cup cream. Lightly brush the piped potatoes with the egg wash. (This is a little easier if you chill the piped potatoes for half an hour or so.)
• Bake until golden brown around the edges. Serve on a pretty platter!

DUCHESS POTATOES

Steps:

• In a large pot, cover potatoes with cold salted water by 2 inches. Bring to a boil; reduce to a rapid simmer and cook until tender, 15 minutes.

Add 2 egg yolks, 1/4 cup cream, and pinch of nutmeg; stir until combined.
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment and lightly butter paper. Dollop mixture in 8 equal portions on sheet, 2 inches apart. Using the back of a spoon, create a small well in the center of each. Freeze until firm, 15 minutes. Whisk together remaining egg yolk and 2 teaspoons cream. Brush on potatoes and bake until golden, 15 minutes.

DUCHESSE POTATOES IN RAMEKINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Put an oven rack in the middle position in the oven.
• Cool the potatoes just enough so they can be handled, but still very warm.
• Mash them well and push them through a fine chinois or sieve.
• Turn the mash out into a food processor, using the chopping blade.
• Scatter the chunked butter around on the potatoes.
• Process for about 5 minutes until the butter is completely incorporated.
• It helps if the taters are still quite hot.
• Scrape the sides of the processor bowl, return top.
• Turn processor on and add eggs, starting with the whole egg.
• Pour them in very slowly so they incorporate but do not cook.
• Process until the consistency is similar to a standard souffle mixture.
• Set mixture aside.
• Bring water to a boil on the stovetop.
• Butter ceramic ramekins and fill 3/4 full with potato mixture.
• Place the ramekins on a 9x13" baking pan, set this in the center of the oven, pour boiling water to within 1/2" of the top of the cups.
• Bake for 1 hour, or until tops have puffed and are golden brown.
• Remove from oven and cool slightly on a rack.
• Serve warm in the ramekins.
• Paprika or other seasoning can be sprinkled over the top of the mixture before baking.

DELICIOUS DUCHESS POTATOES

Steps:

• Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain.
• Transfer potatoes to a large bowl and mash with a fork or masher. Quickly add egg yolks, 2 tablespoons butter, nutmeg, and salt. Whisk until thoroughly mixed and set aside to cool, about 10 minutes.
• Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Fit a piping bag with a large star tip. Fill the bag with the potato mixture and pipe golf ball-sized rosettes onto the prepared baking sheet. Brush carefully with remaining butter.
• Place under the preheated broiler and broil until heated through and light brown on top, 3 to 5 minutes. Keep warm for serving.

DUCHESS POTATOES

Steps:

• Cook the potatoes in a pan of boiling salted water for 15 mins until really tender when pressed into the side of the pan. Drain well and leave to steam-dry in the pan for 2 mins. Mash the potatoes until very smooth - use a ricer if you have one, or use a masher, then press the potatoes through a metal sieve to ensure they're completely lump-free.
• Mix the egg yolk, butter and cheese in a large bowl, then add the mash, nutmeg and some seasoning. Mix well with a spatula until the butter has melted and is well incorporated. It will come away from the sides of the bowl, similar to choux pastry.
• Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Spoon the mash into a piping bag with a wide star nozzle. Line a baking sheet with baking parchment and brush over a little vegetable oil. Pipe 20 walnut-sized peaked mounds onto the prepared tray, as if you were icing a cupcake. Beat the egg white with a pinch of salt and brush the potato mounds gently, to keep the fluting.
• Bake the potatoes for 15-20 mins until golden-brown and crisp.
