Print Recipe

Duchess Potatoes are a true culinary delight – a side dish that’s both luxurious and surprisingly easy to make. These fluffy, creamy mounds of potato goodness are a beloved classic, and for good reason. With their rich, buttery flavor and striking presentation, Duchess Potatoes are the perfect accompaniment to any main course, whether it’s a holiday feast or a special weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pound Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 large egg yolks
  • Fresh chopped chives or parsley, for garnish
  • 1 tablespoon sea salt, for garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Cook the Potatoes: Peel and cut the potatoes into chunks. Boil them in salted water until tender, about 15–20 minutes. Drain the potatoes well.

3. Mash the Potatoes: Mash the cooked potatoes until they’re smooth and creamy. Stir in 2 tablespoon of the butter, the heavy cream, Parmesan, salt, and pepper.

4. Add the Egg Yolks: Allow the potato mixture to cool slightly, then mix in the egg yolks until they’re fully incorporated.

5. Pipe the Potatoes: Transfer the potato mixture to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe the potatoes onto the prepared baking sheet, creating small mounds or swirls.

6. Top and Bake: Dot the remaining 2 tablespoon of butter on top of the potato mounds and sprinkle with the sea salt.

7. Bake to Perfection: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the Duchess Potatoes are golden brown and slightly crispy on the outside.

8. Serve and Enjoy: Remove the Duchess Potatoes from the oven and garnish them with freshly chopped chives or parsley. Serve hot and savor the creamy, indulgent goodness.

Notes

Choose the right potatoes: Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes work best for Duchess Potatoes. These high-starch varieties will give you the light and fluffy texture you’re looking for.

Drain the potatoes thoroughly: Make sure to drain the cooked potatoes well, removing as much excess moisture as possible. This will help them crisp up in the oven.

Pipe the potatoes in tight swirls: When piping the potato mixture onto the baking sheet, create tight, compact swirls. This will help the outside of the Duchess Potatoes develop a crispy crust.

Dot with butter and sprinkle with salt: The butter and sea salt help create a delicious, crunchy exterior that complements the creamy interior.

Bake at a high temperature: The high oven temperature of 425°F is key to achieving that perfect golden-brown finish on your Duchess Potatoes.
