Cheesy Garlic Duchess Potatoes

Instructions

1. Step
   Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Step
   Place peeled, diced potatoes in a large pot of cold water. Add 2 tbsp salt to the water and bring to a boil. Cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, then drain well. Return potatoes to the same pot for 1–2 minutes to steam off excess moisture.
3. Step
   Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, melt 4 tbsp butter. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30–60 seconds. Stir in cream and a little black pepper. Remove from heat.
4. Step
   Mash or rice the potatoes until very smooth. Stir in the garlic butter mixture, then let cool slightly. Mix in cheese and egg yolks until smooth and creamy. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.
5. Step
   Transfer mixture to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe about ¼ cup portions onto the prepared baking sheet.
6. Step
   Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until golden on the edges and lightly crisp. Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, brush over the potatoes, garnish with parsley, and serve.
