Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Cook the cubed russet potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and steam dry for 1 minute.
  • Mash the steamed potatoes until smooth. Mix in butter, egg yolks, heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and ground nutmeg until creamy. Stir in Parmesan cheese, if using.
  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to achieve a crispy exterior.

  • Cool for a few minutes before serving warm as a side dish.

Notes

Use fresh potatoes for the best texture. Don't skip the steaming step for a smoother mixture. Keep a close eye on baking time for perfect crunch.
