Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 lb russet (baking) potatoes
1 cup heavy cream
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 garlic clove, minced
3 large eggs
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
3/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Special Equipment
a potato ricer or a food mill fitted with medium disk

Steps:

  • Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Prick each potato a few times, then bake in a shallow baking pan until tender, about 1 hour.
  • When potatoes are just cool enough to handle, halve and scoop out flesh. Force flesh through ricer or food mill into a bowl.
  • Heat cream with butter and garlic in a 3-quart heavy saucepan over moderately low heat until hot, then stir into potatoes. Beat in eggs 1 at a time with a fork until blended, then stir in salt, white pepper, and nutmeg. Spoon mixture into a buttered 2-quart (10-inch) round or oval shallow gratin or casserole dish. Bake until top is puffed and golden, 30 to 40 minutes.

Tips:

- Use a potato ricer to achieve a smooth and fluffy mashed potato base for the pommes duchesse. - Season the mashed potatoes generously with salt, pepper, and nutmeg to enhance their flavor. - Pipe the pommes duchesse onto a greased baking sheet, ensuring they are evenly spaced to prevent them from sticking together. - Bake the pommes duchesse in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside, and fluffy on the inside. - Serve the pommes duchesse as a side dish with roasted meats, poultry, or fish. They can also be used as a garnish for soups and stews.
