  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large russet potatoes
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh chives or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Peel the potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks. Cook in salted boiling water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a mixing bowl, mash the potatoes until smooth, then mix in butter and heavy cream until creamy. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then mix in egg yolks. Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a star tip.
  4. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pipe the potato mixture into decorative shapes and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat in a preheated oven for best results.
  • If preparing in advance, you can refrigerate piped potatoes for up to 24 hours before baking.
  • For dietary adaptations, consider using plant-based substitutes for butter and cream.
