Ingredients
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lay boiled potatoes on a baking sheet and place into the oven for 10-15 minutes, or until slightly dried on the surface.
  2. Remove the potatoes from the oven and process potatoes through a ricer or food mill.
  3. Allow to cool in a bowl for about 5 minutes.
  4. Add egg yolks, butter, a couple of generous pinches of salt, a generous pinch of pepper, a pinch of nutmeg and 3/4 cup cream.
  5. Stir with a rubber spatula to combine. Taste and make sure the potatoes have been adequately salted.
  6. Transfer to a large pastry bag and pipe through a large star tip in a circular/upward spiral motion.
  7. Make an egg wash by mixing 1 egg with 1/2 cup heavy cream.
  8. Lightly brush the piped potatoes with egg wash. (This is a little easier if you chill the piped potatoes for half an hour or so.)
  9. Bake at 375 until golden brown around the edges. Serve on a pretty platter!
Recipe Notes
