Duchess Potatoes
1:14 PMThe recipe pretty much has you make mashed potatoes, so if you have a favorite recipe I'm sure you could use that (although I do recommend following this through!). All I did to modify this was add some garlic powder and cajun seasoning, and after playing around with star tip sizes, I found one that worked for me. My tip for you: make sure your potatoes are mashed very thoroughly and with as little lumps as possible… its a pain in the arse having the tip clog over and over. Thats my fault, though.
Duchess Potatoes
Serves 8
2 pounds baking potatoes
½ cup butter, plus additional for topping
salt and pepper, to taste
1 large egg
1. Preheat oven to 400˚. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper
2. Peel and quarter potatoes and place in a large pot of boiling water. Cook until fork tender (time will vary by size of the potatoes). Drain and transfer to a large bowl.
3. Add butter and seasonings and mash potatoes well. Allow mixture to cool for 10-15 minutes, until potatoes are not hot to the touch, then mash in the egg until potatoes are smooth.
4. Transfer potatoes to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe potatoes onto baking sheet to form swirling peaks (about 2-inches across). Brush gently with additional melted butter.
5. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve hot.
