Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
- 0.5 cup Low-fat milk
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 2 large Egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon Parsley (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Peel and dice the Yukon Gold potatoes. Place them in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook the potatoes until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
While the potatoes are cooking, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot or a large bowl. Allow them to sit for a couple of minutes to let the steam escape.
Mash the potatoes with a potato masher or use a ricer for extra smooth consistency.
Add the low-fat milk, unsalted butter, 1 teaspoon of salt, ground black pepper, and nutmeg to the mashed potatoes. Stir well until smooth and creamy.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Let the mashed potatoes cool slightly, then stir in the egg yolks until fully integrated.
Transfer the mashed potato mixture into a piping bag fitted with a large star tip.
Pipe small mounds of mashed potatoes onto the prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, before serving. Enjoy your low-fat Duchess Potatoes!
