How to make Pommes Duchesse
Even though duchess potatoes (or pommes duchesse) looks like a complicated side, it’s actually quite simple. Let me show you how:
Duchess potatoes
This is the recipe you should make if you want to wow your dinner guests. Whether you invite some friends over this weekend, or are preparing for Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner, duchess potatoes will be the star of the show.
They’re the prettiest potatoes you’ll ever see. You’ll look like a super chef bringing these to the table. (It’s our secret that they’re easy to make.) They can be made up a day in advance and stored in your fridge until you are ready to bake them. They go great with everything from a roast turkey to pot roast to grilled salmon. They are super buttery and delicious.
They’re made by mashing buttered potatoes with egg yolks, which makes the potatoes hold their shape once they’re baked. Then they’re piped into pretty swirls using a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip. When they’re baked, the insides stay beautifully soft and the outside edges get nice and crispy. Simply pipe the potatoes onto a baking sheet then loosely cover them with plastic wrap before storing them in your fridge. TIP: let the duchess potatoes cool for 1 hour in your fridge before you cover them with wrap. This will help protect the pretty edges. Once they’re solid, you can move them into a freezer bag. They will keep well for 3 months in your freezer. Reheat them from frozen, adding a few minutes to the baking time.
