Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 pounds (907 grams) Yukon Gold potatoes
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup (30 grams) grated Parmesan cheese
Dairy and Seasonings:
- 2 tablespoons (28 grams) unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) heavy cream
Spices and Herbs:
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare potatoes by peeling and cutting into uniform chunks for even cooking.
- Boil potatoes in generously salted water at medium-high heat for 15-20 minutes until fork-tender.
- Completely drain potatoes and return to hot pot to evaporate excess moisture.
- Mash potatoes thoroughly using a potato masher or ricer until completely smooth and lump-free.
- Incorporate softened butter, heavy cream, garlic powder, salt, and pepper while mixing to create a creamy consistency.
- Gently fold in beaten egg and grated Parmesan cheese until evenly distributed throughout the potato mixture.
- Transfer potato mixture to a piping bag fitted with a large decorative star tip for elegant presentation.
- Carefully pipe uniform rosette shapes onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring consistent size and shape.
- Bake in preheated 400°F (200°C) oven for 15-20 minutes until edges turn golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from oven and garnish with finely chopped fresh parsley for added color and flavor.
- Serve immediately while hot and crisp for optimal texture and taste.
Notes
- Choose starchy potatoes like Russet or Yukon Gold for the creamiest texture and best piping results.
- Ensure potatoes are completely dry after boiling to prevent soggy rosettes and achieve crispy edges.
- Use room temperature egg and butter for smoother mixing and better incorporation of ingredients.
- Adjust seasoning by adding fresh herbs like chives or thyme for extra flavor complexity.
