Pipe the potatoes: Using a piping bag with a large star point, pipe the potatoes onto a cookie sheet. Alternatively, you can just fill a casserole dish with the mashed potatoes, and use a fork to create lots of peaks on the surface.
Can’t you see these on your Thanksgiving table?
I love the light crust on the outside and the pillowy soft middle. You can even make these ahead of time and pop them in the oven at the last minute. You know you’re going to mash potatoes anyway so this is just one more simple step.
Duchess Potatoes ~ pillowy soft mashed potatoes piped into swirls, drizzled with butter and baked to golden, puffy perfection. So easy and pretty too!
Many years ago, when we lived in Tennessee, we often entertained and had little dinner parties on our porch with candles, wine, good friends and sparkly lights. These lovely little spuds were often on the menu because they are so easy to make, and such fun to serve. Everybody will think you went to a lot of trouble because the name Duchess Potatoes sounds so sophisticated. Actually if you can use a piping bag and tip, and mash a potato, you can do this.
