Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Wash the outside of the potatoes and poke the skins all over with a fork. Place in the oven and bake until they are soft inside, about 50-60 minutes or until tender.
  2. Allow the potatoes to cool and cut in half. Scoop out the middle and place in a bowl. Allow the potatoes to cool slightly.
  3. Mash the potatoes until very smooth or use a ricer to rice the potatoes. Once smooth, add butter and seasonings to taste. Stir in egg yolks.
  4. Place the potato mixture into a piping bag with a star tip. Pipe mounds of potatoes about 2 inches wide and 1 ½ inches tall onto a parchment-lined pan. It's ok if the sizes vary a little bit.
  5. Place the egg whites in a separate bowl and whisk with a fork unil they're slightly foamy. Brush the egg whites over piped potatoes very gently and bake 10-15 minutes or until golden.
  6. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

  • Potatoes & Prep
  • Make Ahead
  • Duchess potatoes can also be frozen before baking. 
  • Freeze them on the baking sheet, and then transfer them into a freezer bag. Bake from frozen for 15-20 minutes or until heated through.
  • Potatoes can be boiled but must be very well drained. If there is too much moisture, the potatoes won't hold their shape as well.
  • Mash the potatoes very well, a potato ricer makes perfect potatoes for this recipe.
  • If you don't have piping bags, snip off the corner of a freezer bag and insert a piping tip if you'd like.
  • These can be prepared up to 2 days ahead, covered, and refrigerated before baking.
