Ingredients

  • 2 ½ lbs. Yukon gold potatoes or red potatoes
  • 5 Tbsp. butter melted, divided
  • cup milk oat, cashew, or soy, divided
  • 2 egg yolks large
  • 1 egg large
  • 1 ½ tsp. salt
  • ¼ tsp. black pepper
  • ¼ tsp. garlic powder
  • tsp. nutmeg

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Peel potatoes with a vegetable peeler and remove any remaining eyes of skin. Cut each potato in half and then into quarters.
    2 ½ lbs. Yukon gold potatoes
  • Add potatoes to a large pot, cover with 1 inch of cold water and add a pinch or two of salt. Bring the pot to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to a simmer and cook, uncovered, for 10-12 minutes, or until they pierce easily with a fork.
  • Transfer boiled potatoes to a colander and rinse under cold running water until cool to the touch.
  • Rice potatoes using a potato ricer into a large bowl. Add 4 tablespoons melted butter, milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and nutmeg. Mix until well combined.

  • Whisk egg yolks and egg in a small bowl and then add to the mashed potatoes. Stir with a spatula until well mixed.
    2 egg yolks, 1 egg
  • Using a pastry bag fitted with a 1M star tip, pipe the potatoes onto a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Leave about ½-inch of space between each one. You should end up with 12 that are roughly 2 ½-inches in width.
  • Lightly brush potatoes with the remaining tablespoon of butter, being careful not to disrupt the edges.
    5 Tbsp. butter
  • Bake in preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges begin to brown.
  • Serve with thyme leaves or chopped fresh parsley. Enjoy!
