Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs Russet potatoes
• 1 tsp Salt
• 4 tbsp Unsalted butter
• 1.25 cups Whole milk
• 2 large Egg yolks
• 0.25 tsp Ground black pepper
• 0.125 tsp Nutmeg (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks, approximately 2 inches.

Step 2

Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Reduce heat to a simmer and cook the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.

Step 4

Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Place the pot back on low heat for 1-2 minutes to evaporate any excess moisture.

Step 5

Mash the potatoes using a potato masher, ricer, or food mill until they are smooth and lump-free.

Step 6

Heat the milk in a small saucepan until warm but not boiling. Stir the milk and butter into the mashed potatoes, mixing until creamy and well combined.

Step 7

In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolks, then slowly incorporate them into the mashed potatoes. Stir quickly to avoid curdling the eggs.

Step 8

Add ground black pepper and nutmeg, if using. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Step 9

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking dish or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 10

For a traditional look, transfer the potato mixture to a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe rosettes or decorative shapes onto the prepared baking sheet. Alternatively, spread the mixture evenly into the baking dish for a rustic style.

Step 11

Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the top of the potatoes turn lightly golden brown.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Marquis Potatoes as an elegant accompaniment to your meal!
