01
Step 1
Start by putting the potatoes in a big pot and cover them with salted water. Bring it to a boil, then turn the heat down to medium-low and let them simmer until they’re tender, about 20 minutes. Once they’re soft, drain the water.

Step 2
Put the potatoes in a large bowl and mash them up with a fork or potato masher. While they’re still warm, quickly stir in the egg yolks, 2 tablespoons of butter, a pinch of nutmeg, and some salt. Mix everything well, then set it aside to cool for about 10 minutes.

Step 3
Next, move a rack so it’s about 6 inches from the broiler and preheat your oven’s broiler. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to keep things from sticking.

Step 4
Fit a piping bag with a large star tip and fill it with the potato mixture. Pipe out small rosettes, about the size of golf balls, onto the baking sheet. Brush each one gently with the remaining butter.

Step 5
Pop the tray under the broiler and cook until the potatoes are warmed through and have a nice golden brown top, usually around 3 to 5 minutes. Keep them warm until you’re ready to serve.
Why you’ll love it
These potatoes are creamy and flavorful, with a beautiful golden crust that makes them look as good as they taste. They are a great way to elevate simple mashed potatoes into something special. Perfect for holidays or any dinner where you want a touch of elegance.
How to serve
They pair wonderfully with roasted meats, grilled vegetables, or a fresh green salad. Try serving them alongside a rich gravy or a tangy herb sauce to balance the richness.
Storage & leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to keep the edges crisp, rather than microwaving which can make them soggy.
