Ingredients

• 1 egg
• 2 egg yolks
• 1 teaspoon heavy whipping cream
• 2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
• 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into large pieces
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.25 cup butter
• 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.

Step 2

Prepare a piping bag with large open star tip.

Step 3

Fill a 3-quart pot with 4 inches water and 1 teaspoon salt. Add potatoes; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; simmer until tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain; return potatoes to the pot.

Step 4

Cook potatoes over low heat until remaining water steams off, about 3 minutes. Let cool, at least 15 minutes.

Step 5

Place potatoes in a food processor and process until smooth. Let stand for 5 minutes. Add butter, egg yolks, remaining 1 teaspoon salt, nutmeg, and pepper. Mix until just combined; spoon into the piping bag.

Step 6

Pipe potato mixture onto the prepared baking sheet into eighteen 2-inch rosettes with a circular motion, finishing with a small peak in the center. Refrigerate until slightly firmer, about 25 minutes.

Step 7

Mix egg and heavy cream together in a bowl; brush mixture onto the rosettes.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes.
