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
- 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.
- 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.

Yours pommes duquesse dear Angie look awesome and delicious! I love these and how look!!! georgeous!! gloria
well ANgie always I think all you cook or bake look beautiful, so inspired!! gloria
These are so pretty. I'll bet the crispy edges are a nice little surprise. I would never think to add nutmeg to potatoes but I'll bet it's delicious!
We used to have Duchess potatoes at Primary school. They were my favourite.
Wow - these are no ordinary potatoes - beautiful!
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.
What beautiful potatoes! They look crispy of the outside and tender and fluffy on the inside!
Gorgeous, Angie! My guys would go nuts for these...and I love them because they are so beautiful~
I often prepare them..they're so easy and even very elegant to see!!!Have a nice weekend, Flavia
Bellissime!!
Beautiful!
Cheers,
Rosa
Such a simple way to make mashed potatoes more exciting!
I never knew what these were called, but the crispy edges have me drooling. Who needs butter or sour cream with potatoes like these?
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.
Hugs,
Lovely little creations; love them!
These potatoes look delicious! And as always, great photos!
These cuties look so delicate and delicious! Mash potato has never looked so good!
Delicious! I can imagine eating one (or many!) of these very easily.
To think these are just mashed potatoes but the way you present them is just so elegant - and looks mouthwatering , too ;)
Dear Angie, These are so beautiful. They would make any meal just a little more special. I am sure that they are also very tasty. Blessings, Catherine xo
Love it that you've made this into bite sizes.... makes it easier to control the carbs intake :D
Wow Angie! What a lovely and elegant way to serve potatoes...soft on the inside and crisp on the outside...my favorite way to enjoy them!
oh angie! i love these, simple and they look so pretty!! really nice work!!
Delicious! I love duchess potatoes. I've always had them piped over green peas. I don't know if that makes them another dish entirely, but that's what I've always called them! Yours are particularly stunning!
Sooooo beautiful and tempting...
These may be hands down the prettiest potatoes I have ever seen!!!! They look fantastic and I totally will have to make them.... My son said they look fancy!!! I love it!
When I first made duchess potatoes some 15 years agao and tasted them I thought I was eating a cloud. The taste is very unique and amazing. Yours look so perfectly shaped and baked!
Beautiful photos of the humble dutchese potato!
These are so beautiful, that you would hate to eat them up
Une réalisation qui fait vraiment partie de la tradition française.
On en fait moins parce que ça prend du temps pour être aussi joli et c'est très bon aussi.
See soon
Exquisite! Love it!
Perfect little bite sized morsels. Will compliment any meal beautfiully.

This is so cute, would be so lovely on the plate:)
They look fantastic, so elegant! And so good!
Elegant and gorgeous!
As pretty as these potatoes are on a plate and as much as I enjoy them I've never made them at home. They would be beautiful along side our Christmas rib roast. Bookmarked until then! Thanks, Anglie.
Angie, your pommes are perfectly browned and beautiful! I wonder if these could be made ahead and reheated? They would be lovely on a holiday table.
They look and sound absolutely delicious
Such an elegant potato dish! These look wonderful, Angie!
Angie one more inspiring recipe... your pommes duquesse are so beautiful and awesome!
Angie, I haven't thought of these in years, thank you for the gorgeous heads up!
My favourite potatoes of all time! And yours are simply beautiful...now I'm craving them! Theresa
Beautifully done, Angie. I wish I could taste one. They seem scrumptious!
I love the piped version. This is a must make for the Thanksgiving table. My future daughter-in-law is wonderful at presenting food in beautiful ways. I'll leave this task to her. :)
These turned out so beautifully Angie and I love the addition of nutmeg! You are always so inventive in your preparations. Lovely!
These are the most beautiful potatoes I have ever seen. I LOVE them! I seriously need to try these. Thanks!
Delicious! They look great, I'll have to try them as a side dish.
So elegant but so easy. Nice piping job :) Instead of mashed potatoes, I will try to remember this one for Thanksgiving dinner.
what cute little things! even the name is as beautiful as the dish itself.
love this elegant look of "mashed" potatoes. and your piping skills are perfect!
I've always liked to play with my potatoes, so this is naturally one of my favorite potato dishes.
@SavoringTime in the Kitchen I did reheat the leftover, and they were still GREAT!
Oooo...Angie, you have made this looks so easy & classy at the same time. Simply beautiful.
Hope you're having a great week ahead, dear.
Cheers, Kristy ((hugs))
WOoo...this mashed potato looks very pretty! I definitely love to try this for sure :)
Looks so cute and perfectly done too
So beautiful and tempting.
A very classic way to serve potatoes, Angie! Quite elegant indeed.
I remember eating these at "fancy" restaurants as a little girl. :)
ELEGANT AND MOUTHWATERING!!!
Just when I was getting over your last potato dish, you have me salivating on this one Angie :)
chow! Devaki @ weavethousandflavors
They are so beautiful! Happy Halloween :), Miriam@Meatless Meals For Meat Eaters
Now that I know I can get my protein from the egg yolk, I don't even need to make meat or fish. I'll just have the entire plate. But - yours are too pretty - I'd have to share.
Beautifully done, pommes duchesse looks absolutely delicious..
They are gorgeous...so elegantly presented Angie. Love it!
Hope you have a wonderful week and thanks for this yummie recipe :-)
I never made or had pommes duchesse before but they look incredibly beautiful and no doubt delicious. I need to try this soon.
The pommes duchesse looks so beautiful! I am invited to a thanksgiving party and I am assigned for baking vegetable. I wonder what would the guests say when they see this in my tray?
This is a good reminder how to take a simple basic food ingredient like potatoes and bring to a new and elegant level.
As always, beautiful.

Your Pommes Duchesse are beautiful!!! I think I can eat them just like that. No meat or other stuff needed.
simple, yes, but a well-executed reminder of something elegant, and not too difficult to serve with a high-end meat, like filet.
Wow..these are just so beautiful, like little golden gems. They would be great for decorations :D Must be very fun to make them. I would love to try one day. Love the thought of the crisp outside and soft inside...mmm
They are so beautiful and make a lovely presentation!
