Ingredients

• 4 medium Russet potatoes
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 large Egg yolks
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.125 teaspoon Nutmeg (optional)
• 1 as needed for greasing Cooking spray or melted butter
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Peel and dice the potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Place them in a large pot of salted water, bring to a boil, and cook until fork-tender, about 12-15 minutes.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Mash the potatoes until smooth using a potato masher or ricer.

Step 5

Add the butter, heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and nutmeg (if using) to the mashed potatoes. Stir until fully combined and smooth.

Step 6

Allow the mashed potato mixture to cool slightly, then fold in the egg yolks until evenly incorporated.

Step 7

Grease a muffin tin or individual ramekins with cooking spray or melted butter.

Step 8

Spoon the mashed potato mixture into the prepared tins or ramekins, pressing down lightly to compact them. Smooth the tops with the back of a spoon or spatula.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden and set.

Step 10

Let the timbales cool for 5 minutes before gently loosening the edges with a knife and unmolding onto serving plates.

Step 11

Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve warm.
