Ingredients
- 1 kg Potato
- 6 gram Salt
- 120 gram Butter
- 2 pcs. Egg Yolk
- Spices Possibly salt, pepper, and thyme
Instructions
- Peel the potatoes and cut them into uniform small pieces/cubes. About 3x3 cm.
- Boil them in salted water until tender. This takes about 18-23 minutes.
- Coarsely mash the potatoes with a potato masher or fork.
- Cut the butter into smaller pieces and add it to the potatoes, stirring well.
- Repeat the process with the egg yolks, and once you have a uniform mixture, season to taste. It may need a little salt or pepper from a grinder, and you can add some thyme if desired.
- Put your mashed potatoes in a piping bag fitted with a star nozzle.
- Pipe the potato mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Create the patterns you desire and be as creative as you like.
- Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake at 200 degrees Celsius (392 degrees Fahrenheit) (fan) for 10-15 minutes. The mashed potatoes are cooked, so the goal is solely to get a bit of color on them. Thus, you can make the mashed potato mixture in advance and store it in the refrigerator until needed.
- In that case, you just need to give them a bit more time in the oven.
- Bon appétit.
