Instructions
Peel, rinse and cut potatoes to equal pieces.
Submerge potatoes in water in a pot. Add salt, place the lid on then bring it to boil.
Reduce heat to simmer and cook until the potatoes are soft inside, about 20 - 30 minutes.
Finely cut or mince the garlic.
Heat some butter or oil in a skillet. Sauté (stir-fry) garlic until golden brown, about 1 - 3 minutes. Take it off the heat.
Drain water from potatoes. Let it cool for a couple of minutes so it will be easier to handle and less watery too. Add remaining butter, garlic butter from skillet, salt and egg yolks into the potatoes.
Mash it until no chunks are perceivable. Chunky bits will lodge the pastry bag.
Fill the mashed potatoes into a pastry bag then squeeze it out onto a parchment paper laid baking sheet. Some like to brush it with some melted butter or oil.
Put the Duchess potatoes into the middle rack of a 425°F/220°C preheated oven until golden brown spots starts to appear on the cones, about 15 - 30 minutes.
Serve with grated cheese and finely cut parsley sprinkled on top.
