Duchesse Potato
Duchess potatoes consist of a purée of mashed potato and egg with cream, butter, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and baking powder, which is forced from a piping bag or hand-moulded into various shapes which are then baked
Ingredients
Method
To cook the potatoes, place in a large vacuum bag and seal on high
setting. Cook en sous vide at 90C (194F) for 11/2 hours, or until
tender. Press potatoes through a tamis. Weigh 500 g (1 lb 1.6 oz) of
pressed potato and place in a medium bowl. Add the eggs, salt and
egg yolk and stir until combined. Transfer to a piping bag with a star
tip. Pipe the mixture in a spiral pattern 3 inches (7.6 cm) wide onto a
heat-proof silicone baking mat. Brush with wash and bake in the
oven at 350T (177"C) for 6 minutes or until golden brown. Remove
and rest at room temperature until ready to service
