Yesterday was an 'off' day as I had an afternoon nap that lasted until 8 pm. It was definitely NOT the hottest idea because I was wide awake until past 4 am. Less than 3 hours later my alarm rang, and it was time to get Miss Kiki ready to go to school. Lucky for me, my sister is driving her to school this week. Or my dad. Yeah... very lucky.
Well I spent a good portion of my time in bed not sleeping, but browsing pinterest and youtube, and I got excited about baking. Not to let my excitement turn to dust, as soon as Miss Kiki left I got started. The project this morning is the Potato Duchess.
I don't know where the Potato Duchess got its name from, but they are pretty, and very easy to make. Here's what you need:
- 3 medium sized potatoes (about 750 grams)
- 2 egg yolks
- 2 tablespoon of butter or margarine
- salt, pepper, nutmeg to taste
- any other spices you like: I used coriander and garlic powder
- Cooking spray (or melted butter, or vegetable oil)
The How To:
- Peel, boil, and mash the potatoes. Do not add milk like you would a traditional mashed potato. I used my Kitchen Aid with paddle attachment for the whole process until it is ready to pipe.
- Preheat oven to 400F or 200C
- Mix in the butter/margarine
- Mix in egg yolks, one at a time. Make sure they are well incorporated each time.
- Mix in all the spices to taste.
- Pipe the mashed potatoes onto a lined cookie sheet. I used the Wilton Dessert Decorator.
- Spray with cooking spray, or you can brush the oil or butter on. Brushing would be easier if you refrigerate first after piping.
- Bake for 25 minutes or until the edges are golden brown
- Serve right away. If you have extras I think you can freeze them and toast later.... but I've never tried it before.
The whole process was very easy, and yummy!
