These elegant duchess potato rosettes combine creamy potatoes with nutty Gruyère cheese and fresh chives, creating a perfect crispy and creamy side dish ideal for parties or casual dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • ⅓ cup heavy cream, warmed
  • ¾ cup Gruyère cheese, finely grated
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • A pinch of freshly grated nutmeg (optional)
  • 2 large egg yolks, beaten

Instructions

  1. Place peeled and cut potatoes in a large pot. Cover with cold water and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium and simmer for 15-20 minutes until potatoes are fork-tender. Drain well and return to pot.
  2. Over low heat, gently shake the pot for 1-2 minutes to evaporate excess moisture. Use a ricer or masher to mash the potatoes until smooth, avoiding lumps.
  3. Stir in the softened butter and warmed heavy cream while the potatoes are still hot. Mix gently but thoroughly until creamy and combined.
  4. Add salt, black pepper, and a pinch of freshly grated nutmeg (if using). Stir in the grated Gruyère cheese and chopped fresh chives. Mix well to distribute evenly.
  5. Let the potato mixture cool slightly (about 5 minutes), then beat in the two egg yolks to bind the mixture.
  6. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  7. Fill a piping bag fitted with a large star tip with the potato mixture. Pipe about 1.5-inch diameter rosettes onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them at least 1 inch apart.
  8. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the rosettes are golden brown on the edges and firm to the touch.
  9. Let the rosettes cool for a couple of minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to a serving platter. Serve warm.

Notes

If the potato mixture is too loose to pipe, chill it in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to firm up. For extra crispiness, broil for the last 1-2 minutes but watch carefully to avoid burning. Rotate the baking sheet halfway through baking for even browning. Avoid overmixing potatoes to prevent gluey texture. Use a ricer for best smoothness. Warm butter and cream before adding to potatoes for easier mixing.
