Step-by-Step Instructions for Duchess Potatoes
- Peel and chop the potatoes into even chunks. Add to a large pot, cover with salted water, and boil for 15-20 minutes until fork-tender. Drain and let evaporate excess moisture.
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Melt the butter and warm the heavy cream until steaming. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Mash the drained potatoes in the pot over low heat until smooth. Gradually stir in butter, cream, cheese, salt, pepper, and egg yolks.
- Transfer the mixture into a piping bag and pipe small mounds onto the baking sheet.
- Brush the tops with melted butter and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from the oven, garnish with chives or parsley, and sprinkle with sea salt before serving.

Notes
Ensure potatoes are fully dried after boiling to avoid a watery mixture. You can freeze piped Duchess Potatoes for easy baking later.
