Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes

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.
