How to cook deliciously - Duchess Potatoes
1. Stage
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking sheet.
2. Stage
In a large pot, cover potatoes with water by 1”. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer and cook until you can easily insert a fork into the center, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain then return potatoes to the pot. Pass potatoes through potato mill or ricer into a large bowl.
3. Stage
Add 4 tablespoons cream, butter, and ¾ teaspoon each salt and pepper to potatoes. Adjust seasoning to taste and add remaining 1 tablespoon cream to get a pipeable consistency, if necessary.
4. Stage
Cool potatoes 5 minutes, then fold 1 egg yolk at a time with a flexible spatula until incorporated.
5. Stage
Fit a pastry bag with a large star tip and transfer the potatoes to the piping bag. Pipe crowns with a 3” base, swirling into a point. Refrigerate for 1 hour, if possible.
6. Stage
30 minutes before baking, preheat oven to 400º. Bake potatoes for 10 minutes, then reduce temperature to 375º. Bake 8 to 12 minutes more, until golden brown. Serve hot, sprinkled with parsley and flaky sea salt, if you like.
