Pommes Duchesse
(4 servings)
Peel 750 grams of potatoes and put them in a big pot. Add one teaspoon of salt and enough water to cover the potatoes. Bring the water to a boil and let the potatoes simmer for 25 minutes (keep the lid on the pot).
Drain the potatoes and mash them. Add one egg and two tablespoons of butter and a pinch of nutmeg.
Put the mixture in a piping bag with a star-shaped nozzle. If you do not have a piping bag use a freezer bag and cut off one corner. Form tuffs on a oiled baking tray.
Bake the pommes duchesse in the oven at 180 degrees Celsius for 12 minutes.
