- 2 lbs Russet potatoes
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 2 large egg yolks
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp fresh chives
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 0.25 tsp white pepper
How to make Duchess Potatoes with Parmesan and Chives
- Place the 2 lbs of peeled and quartered Russet potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold, salted water by about an inch. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are very tender when pierced with a fork.
- Drain the potatoes thoroughly in a colander. Return the drained potatoes to the empty hot pot over low heat for 1-2 minutes, shaking the pot gently. This helps evaporate excess moisture, ensuring a fluffy mash.
- Pass the hot potatoes through a potato ricer or mash them very well with a potato masher until completely smooth, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Add 0.5 cup softened unsalted butter, 0.25 cup warm heavy cream, 2 large egg yolks, 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and 0.25 teaspoon white pepper to the mashed potatoes. Mix vigorously with a spoon until everything is thoroughly combined and the mixture is smooth and creamy. Stir in 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Transfer the potato mixture to a large pastry bag fitted with a large star tip (like an Ateco 826 or Wilton 1M). Pipe individual mounds or rosettes of potato onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about an inch between each.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the Duchess potatoes are golden brown on the peaks and lightly colored on the bases. Keep an eye on them to prevent over-browning.
- Serve immediately as an elegant and delicious side dish for your Thanksgiving dinner.
