Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 Cup Yukon gold potatoes , peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 Large Egg yolk
  • 2 Tbsp Butter , divided
  • 1 Tbsp Heavy whipping cream
  • 1 Tbsp Chives, sliced, for garnish
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Minced garlic
  • 1/32 tsp Ground nutmeg
  • 1/32 tsp Black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Add potato cubes to a small saucepan and cover with water. Add 1/2 tsp salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender enough to be pierced with a fork.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a small rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and spray it with cooking spray.
  • At the end of cooking time for the potatoes, melt the butter in a small microwave-safe bowl. Warm the milk in a microwave-safe bowl. Set aside.
  • Drain the potatoes thoroughly and return to the saucepan over low heat for 2-3 minutes. This will help evaporate any excess moisture from potatoes.
  • Using a Potato ricer or masher, mash the potatoes until smooth and free of any lumps. Add 1 tablespoon of melted butter, warmed cream, salt, and pepper. Mix and add the egg yolk, mixing until combined.
  • Transfer the potatoes to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. This tip will help create the swirls. Pipe the potatoes into 3-inch mounds on the prepared baking sheet. You will have 4 mounds of potatoes. They need to be about an inch apart.
  • Brush the potatoes with the remaining 1 tablespoon of melted butter.
  • Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until potatoes are golden brown on edges and slightly crispy.
  • Remove from heat and garnish with chives. Serve immediately while hot.
