Indulge in the creamy, garlicky goodness of Garlic Parmesan Duchess Potatoes. These elegantly piped and baked potatoes are golden and crispy on the outside, while being soft and flavorful on the inside, making them the perfect side dish for any meal.

  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 4-6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds of Yukon Gold potatoes
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Olive oil or cooking spray (for greasing the baking sheet)

Instructions

  1. Peel the Yukon Gold potatoes and cut them into 1-2 inch chunks.
  2. Place the potato chunks in a large pot, cover with cold water, and add a pinch of salt.
  3. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to medium and simmer for 15-20 minutes until fork-tender.
  4. Drain the potatoes and let them sit in the colander for a few minutes to evaporate excess moisture.
  5. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to brown the garlic.
  6. Remove from heat and stir in the heavy cream. Set aside to cool slightly.
  7. Return the drained potatoes to the pot and mash until smooth using a potato masher or ricer.
  8. Pour the garlic and cream mixture over the mashed potatoes. Add the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg (if using). Mix until well combined.
  9. Stir in the egg yolks until fully incorporated.
  10. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease with olive oil or cooking spray.
  11. Transfer the potato mixture to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip.
  12. Pipe the potato mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in small mounds, about 2-3 inches apart.
  13. Brush the tops lightly with melted butter or olive oil for a golden finish.
  14. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and slightly crispy.
  15. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet.
  16. Transfer the duchess potatoes to a serving platter and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley before serving warm.

Notes

  • For an extra touch, you can add more cheese on top before baking.
  • These duchess potatoes can be made ahead of time and reheated in the oven before serving.
