Duchess Potatoes are elegant mashed potato swirls that are piped and baked until golden and crispy on the outside, while remaining rich and creamy on the inside—perfect for holidays or dinner parties.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and chopped
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream or whole milk, warmed
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg (optional)
  • 1 tbsp melted butter or egg wash (for brushing)

Instructions

  1. Peel and chop the potatoes, then boil in salted water until fork-tender.
  2. Drain and mash the potatoes until smooth and lump-free.
  3. Mix in the butter, warm cream, salt, pepper, and nutmeg (if using).
  4. Let the mashed potatoes cool slightly, then beat in the egg yolks.
  5. Transfer the mixture to a piping bag fitted with a star tip.
  6. Pipe small swirls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  7. Brush each swirl with melted butter or egg wash.
  8. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20–25 minutes until golden and crisp on the edges.

Notes

  • Add grated Parmesan or minced garlic for extra flavor.
  • Use sour cream for a tangier taste.
  • Pipe into mini muffin tins for uniform shapes.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge up to 3 days and reheat in the oven.
  • Freeze unbaked swirls for later use—bake from frozen.
