Duchesse Potatoes

I HATE THESE. But, I learned the recipe in class so i will share for you [eeek] potato lovers.

YOU NEED:
1 kg boiled potatoes. peel them, chop into chunks [ we used yukon gold]
1.2  cup melted butter
 2 egg yolks
an egg wash [egg whites and water]
some nutmeg, salt and pepper.

1. boil potatoes. IMPORTANT: after draining, PUT THEM BACK IN THE HOT POT. without cooking, just the heat to dry them out. mine turned out flat because i didnt drain the moisture....
2. add in butter and egg yolks, mix, season with LOTS of salt, pepper, and nutmeg. you can add chives and garlic i suppose, whatever.
3. dump mixture into a piping bag [with edges, or else it'll look like dog poo] then, coat with a bit of egg wash.
4. make little towers on a baking sheet.
5. bake at 400 F for about 15 minutes until top has browned.
