Duchess Potatoes – Patate Duchesse

Following the GialloZafferano recipe tonight I cooked some duchess potatoes! Yummy!

1) chop the potatoes (about 250 gr) and cook them in hot water;

2) drain the potatoes and smash them;

3) mix the smashed potatoes with 25g of butter, salt, pepper and nutmeg; you can add also grated parmesan cheese;

4) add 1 yolk and keep mixing;

5) put the puree in a piping bagwith a large star tip, if you don’t have it you can make it with the cut corner of a freezer bag or just using 2 small spoons to create a shape;

6) create small rosettes onto a baking sheet and cook in a preheat oven to 450 degrees F.

7) place baking sheet on middle rack in oven. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until tops are lightly browned.

8 ) serve hot! Enjoy your meal!
