Zubereitungszeit ca. 60 MinutenVorbereitung ca. 20 MinutenKochzeit ca. 40 Minuten
Zutaten:
- 2 1/2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes (peeled)
- 6 Tablespoons butter (divided)
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 4 large egg yolks
- Minced fresh parsley (for garnish (optional))
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
Arbeitsschritte:
- Cut the potatoes into 1-inch cubes and place them in a large pot. Add enough water to cover the potatoes and add about 2 tablespoons of salt. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer, uncovered, for about 15-20 minutes, until the potatoes fall apart easily when pierced with a fork. Drain well.
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add drained potatoes to a large mixing bowl along with the cream and 4 TBSP butter. Mash well with a potato masher until there are no longer any lumps (or press through a potato ricer).
- Stir in the cheese until well combined. Season with salt & pepper, to taste.
- Let cool slightly, then stir in the egg yolks.
- At this point if the mixture is very thick you can add additional heavy cream, if needed.
- Transfer the mashed potatoes to a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip (or see tips below). You'll need to work in batches. Pipe the potatoes onto the parchment-lined baking sheets into swirls about 3 inches in diameter.
- Gently brush with the remaining 2 TBSP butter, melted.
- Bake until golden brown, about 15-20 minutes. Serve immediately garnished with parsley, if desired.
