Pommes Duchesse, also known as Duchess potatoes, are basically some puréed potatoes that includ egg yolk, butter and seasonings. They can be simply shaped into a mound with a spoon or piped through a pastry bag into various shapes. The edges of the piped potatoes are crisp after baking, while the interior remains soft and creamy. Serve duchess potatoes as a side along with a good portion of meat.

  • 400 g Potatoes, peeled, roughly chopped
  • 1 Egg yolk
  • 50 g butter, melted
  • A pinch of nutmeg
  • Salt and white pepper to taste
  1. Place potatoes in a large saucepan. Cover with cold water. Bring it to the boil. Boil for 15 minutes or until tender. Drain. Transfer to a bowl. Mash with a potato ricer or using a large metal spoon, press potato through a fine sieve into a bowl. Add egg yolk and half the butter. Season with nutmeg, salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
  2. Preheat oven to 220C/428F. Line a baking sheet with baking paper. Spoon the potato mixture into a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe swirled rosettes onto the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle remaining butter over potato. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until lightly browned.

This looks so fun I may just have to make one of those homemade piping bags. It won't as cool as yours, but it's still a neat idea.

I never knew what these were called, but the crispy edges have me drooling. Who needs butter or sour cream with potatoes like these?

[Reply]
Elisabeth 30/10/11 00:29

Wow, Angie-these pommes Duchesse is such a simple little potato...but you've crowned it with "beauty"...and presented, as SUCH!
This is something they would serve at a wedding party, or an elite country club.
