Elegant duchess potatoes with crispy edges, featuring a creamy interior blended with garlic, nutmeg, and optional Parmesan.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and quartered
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped (optional, for garnish)
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for additional flavor)

Instructions

  1. Boil the potatoes by placing the peeled and quartered Yukon Gold potatoes in a large pot. Fill the pot with cold water, ensuring the potatoes are fully submerged. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
  2. Simmer to tenderness by bringing the pot to a boil over high heat, then reducing to a simmer. Cook the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes or until fork-tender. Drain and let sit to steam dry.
  3. Prepare the cream mixture by combining the butter, heavy cream, and whole milk in a saucepan. Heat over low to medium heat until the butter melts without boiling.
  4. Mash the potatoes in a mixing bowl until smooth and free of lumps.
  5. Incorporate the warm butter-cream mixture into the mashed potatoes, stirring continuously.
  6. Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg (if using). Mix well.
  7. Fold in the egg yolks until fully blended into the potato mixture.
  8. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment.
  9. Pipe the potato mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in decorative swirls.
  10. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and crispy.
  11. Serve with flair, garnished with chopped chives if desired.

Notes

For extra crispy edges, broil the potatoes for a few minutes at the end. Don’t hesitate to customize the spices and add extra cheese for more flavor.
