The Best Duchess Potatoes Recipe
Report
The Best Duchess Potatoes Recipe transforms mashed Yukon Gold potatoes enriched with heavy cream, butter, and egg yolks into elegant piped mounds. Baking them until golden develops a delicate crisp exterior while maintaining a smooth, tender interior. This side dish pairs well with various mains and offers a refined presentation.
Description
This recipe starts by boiling and mashing Yukon Gold potatoes until smooth. Adding butter, cream, and salt creates a rich base, and incorporating whisked egg yolks lends a custardy texture. The mixture is piped onto a baking sheet in small mounds and brushed with melted butter before baking at 425°F to form a lightly browned, slightly crisp crust.
The Duchess potatoes serve as a sophisticated accompaniment to roasts, poultry, or holiday meals. Their creamy interior contrasts with their golden edges, offering both flavor and texture variations in each bite.

Ingredients
- 2 lbs potato Yukon gold
- 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
- 3 tbsp butter unsalted
- 1 tsp salt adjust to taste
- 4 egg yolk
- 2 tbsp butter brush the tops, unsalted
Instructions
- Clean your potatoes and cut them into four pieces. Place them into a pot of boiling water and cook them until they are fork tender.
- Drain the water from the potatoes. Mash them until they are perfectly smooth. Add butter, salt, and heavy whipping cream to the mashed potatoes. Mash to combine. Whisk the egg yolks. Add them slowly into the potatoes, stirring constantly until combined.
- Place the mashed potatoes into a piping bag. Make sure there aren't any large pieces or lumps otherwise they will get stuck as you are piping. Pipe the potatoes onto a lined baking sheet, about 2-3 inches in size. Leave about an inch of space between each potato mound.
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter and gently brush the tops of the potatoes with it.
- Bake the potatoes at 425°F for 15-20 minutes or until the tops are golden brown. Enjoy!
