Duchess Potatoes Au Gratin Recipes

Steps:

• Prepare a piping bag with large open star tip.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
• Fill a 3-quart pot with 4 inches water and 1 teaspoon salt. Add potatoes; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; simmer until tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain; return potatoes to the pot.
• Cook potatoes over low heat until remaining water steams off, about 3 minutes. Let cool, at least 15 minutes.
• Place potatoes in a food processor and process until smooth. Let stand for 5 minutes. Add butter, egg yolks, remaining 1 teaspoon salt, nutmeg, and pepper. Mix until just combined; spoon into the piping bag.
• Pipe potato mixture onto the prepared baking sheet into eighteen 2-inch rosettes with a circular motion, finishing with a small peak in the center. Refrigerate until slightly firmer, about 25 minutes.
• Mix egg and heavy cream together in a bowl; brush mixture onto the rosettes.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes.

Steps:

• In a large pot, cover potatoes with cold salted water by 2 inches. Bring to a boil; reduce to a rapid simmer and cook until tender, 15 minutes. Drain in a colander, let sit 5 minutes, then return to pot. Add butter and, with a potato masher, mash until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Add 2 egg yolks, 1/4 cup cream, and pinch of nutmeg; stir until combined.
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment and lightly butter paper. Dollop mixture in 8 equal portions on sheet, 2 inches apart. Using the back of a spoon, create a small well in the center of each. Freeze until firm, 15 minutes. Whisk together remaining egg yolk and 2 teaspoons cream. Brush on potatoes and bake until golden, 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Butter a 2 quart flame proof casserole or gratin dish.
• Peel the potatoes and hold them in cold water until ready to proceed with the recipe.
• Combine the garlic, cream, salt and pepper in a small bowl.
• Dry the potatoes fully and cut them into rounds, beginning at one end, using a mandoline. Set the blade on the mandoline to cut a thin, 1/8-inch thick, slice. Place the potato slices into the gratin dish carefully layering them in a circular fashion. Pour the seasoned cream over the potatoes and shake the dish gently to allow the cream to flow towards the bottom of the dish.
• Place the gratin dish on the stovetop over low heat and begin to warm the contents until the cream has begun to simmer. Cook the potatoes in the seasoned cream for 5 minutes and then place the gratin dish into the oven.
• Bake the potatoes for 45 to 60 minutes until the top has browned to a rich golden color and the cream is bubbling along the side of the dish.
• Remove the gratin from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Cook potatoes in water in a large sauce pan until tender.
• Drain and mash.
• Mix remaining ingredients, (except cooking spray) in a large bowl.
• Add to potatoes.
• Whip smooth with a hand mixer.
• Pipe onto a greased baking sheet using a large star tip in a pastry bag into 12 swirls, or spoon about 1/3 of a cup into mounds.
• Spray with cooking spray for a crispier crust if desired.
• Bake in 425° F oven for about 20 minutes until tips are golden brown.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment or a silicon baking mat.
• Lay the boiled potatoes on a baking sheet and place into the oven until slightly dried on the surface, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Remove the potatoes from the oven and process through a ricer or food mill. Allow to cool in a bowl for about 5 minutes.
• Add the egg yolks, butter, a couple generous pinches of salt, a generous pinch of pepper, a pinch of nutmeg and 3/4 cup cream. Stir with a rubber spatula to combine. Taste and make sure the potatoes have been adequately salted.
• Transfer to a large pastry bag and pipe through a large star tip in a circular/upward spiral motion onto the prepared baking sheet.
• Make an egg wash by mixing the whole egg with the remaining 1/2 cup cream. Lightly brush the piped potatoes with the egg wash. (This is a little easier if you chill the piped potatoes for half an hour or so.)
• Bake until golden brown around the edges. Serve on a pretty platter!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 2 quart baking dish.
• Layer potato slices in prepared baking dish. Pour cream over potatoes; sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Season potatoes with salt and pepper.
• Bake in preheated oven until potatoes are soft, about 1 hour. Remove from oven; gently stir potatoes. Sprinkle with the Cheddar cheese; cover and let rest until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Cook the potatoes in boiling water until fork-tender (about 25 minutes) drain and place in a large mixing bowl.
• Cool the potatoes for about 20 minutes at room temperature.
• Add in eggs and 7 tablespoons melted butter, pinch dill, pinch garlic powder, salt, pepper and parmesan cheese; add in 3 tablespoons cream adding in more to achieve desired consistency (you might use up to 7 tablespoons cream).
• Season with more salt and pepper if needed to taste.
• Spoon the potato mixture into a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip.
• Pipe the mixture into 12 mounds onto a large greased baking sheet/s.
• Melt the 1/3-1/2 cup butter and drizzle over the potatoes.
• Sprinkle a very small amount of paprika over each mound (this is only optional).
• Set oven to 400°F.
• Bake for about 18-20 minutes or until golden brown.
• Delicious!

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F.
• Melt butter in medium saucepan on medium heat. Blend in flour, mustard and pepper; cook and stir 1 min. Gradually add milk, stirring until well blended; cook 3 to 5 min. until thickened, stirring constantly. Add 1-1/2 cups cheese and onions; cook 2 to 3 min. until cheese is melted, stirring frequently.
• Layer potatoes and cheese sauce alternately in 2-qt. casserole sprayed with cooking spray, ending with cheese sauce.
• Bake 1-1/4 hours or until potatoes are tender. Sprinkle with remaining cheese; bake 5 min. or until melted.

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a large pot and pour in water to cover by 2"; season with salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high. Reduce heat and simmer until a paring knife very easily slides through potatoes, 25-35 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.
• Preheat oven to 425°F. Whisk egg yolks, garlic, cream, sour cream, butter, and peppercorns in a large bowl; season generously with salt. Peel potatoes and pass flesh through a ricer or a food mill (or mash them by hand if you don't mind a few lumps) directly into bowl with egg mixture. Fold in gently (be careful not to overmix). Transfer to a 3-quart baking dish and decoratively shingle or swirl surface. Bake, rotating once, until golden brown and slightly puffed, 30-40 minutes.
• Do Ahead
• Dish can be assembled 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Increase bake time by 5-10 minutes.

Steps:

• Cook the potatoes in a pan of boiling salted water for 15 mins until really tender when pressed into the side of the pan. Drain well and leave to steam-dry in the pan for 2 mins. Mash the potatoes until very smooth - use a ricer if you have one, or use a masher, then press the potatoes through a metal sieve to ensure they're completely lump-free.
• Mix the egg yolk, butter and cheese in a large bowl, then add the mash, nutmeg and some seasoning. Mix well with a spatula until the butter has melted and is well incorporated. It will come away from the sides of the bowl, similar to choux pastry.
• Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Spoon the mash into a piping bag with a wide star nozzle. Line a baking sheet with baking parchment and brush over a little vegetable oil. Pipe 20 walnut-sized peaked mounds onto the prepared tray, as if you were icing a cupcake. Beat the egg white with a pinch of salt and brush the potato mounds gently, to keep the fluting.
• Bake the potatoes for 15-20 mins until golden-brown and crisp.
