Duchess Potatoes Recipe: Adapted From The New American Cookbook, 1942:
4-5 medium to large Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled
Salt for water
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4-1/2 teaspoon paprika
3 egg yolks
1 whole egg + 1 tablespoon water for egg wash

1. Place the peeled potatoes in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Let stand at room temperature for 1 hour.
2. Boil the potatoes for about 30-45 minutes in salted water in a large pan or Dutch oven on the stove until tender.
3. Drain the potatoes and run them through a potato ricer to make 3 cups of potatoes. (Save the rest for another project if there are extras left).
4. Mix the potatoes in a large bowl with the teaspoon of salt, 3 egg yolks, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and paprika to taste.
5. Prepare a piping bag with a large star tip. Fill it with the potato mixture and pipe swirls onto a baking sheet lined with a baking mat or parchment paper that has been sprayed with pan spray.
6. Bake for 15-18 minutes in a 350°F oven or until golden brown. Let cool slightly, then lift them off the pan with a metal spatula. Enjoy!
