duchess potatoes

Elegant potato puffs

Duchess potatoes are mashed potatoes enriched with egg yolks and butter, then piped into decorative rosettes or swirls and baked until golden.

The technique creates an elegant presentation for formal dinners: The filet mignon came with duchess potatoes and asparagus.

They can also form a decorative border around dishes like shepherd's pie.
