Duchess Potatoes #BrunchWeek

What if mashed potatoes got all dressed up and fancy?

The answer is Duchess Potatoes!

These little delights are a basic mashed potato, with the addition of an egg for stability, then they’re piped onto a baking sheet and baked again, twice baked potato-style.

They are amazing and such a fun way to serve up plain old mashed potatoes.  These are the perfect accompaniment to an elegant brunch or dinner!


Speaking of brunch, I am making these delicious potatoes for #BrunchWeek 2020 hosted by Love and Confections and A Kitchen Hoor's Adventures!

Duchess Potatoes

Adapted from The Complete Cook’s Country TV Show Cookbook

 

1 ½ pounds red potatoes, peeled and diced

½ cup heavy cream

3 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 egg, lightly beaten

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon pepper

¼ teaspoon baking powder

 

Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F and line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment that has been lightly sprayed with cooking spray.

Cook the potatoes in a pot of lightly salted boiling water until tender, 10-15 minutes.  

Drain the potatoes and place them into a bowl.  Mash the potatoes until smooth.  Stir in the remaining ingredients.

Transfer the potatoes into a large piping bag fitted with a star tip (I used an Ateco 828).  Pipe the potatoes onto the prepared baking sheet in a tall, round mound (like frosting a cupcake). 

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.  Serve hot.
