Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Boil the Potatoes: Peel and chop 2 pounds of potatoes into even chunks. Cover with salted water and bring to a boil. Cook for 15-20 minutes until fork-tender. Drain and let sit to release moisture.

  3. Warm the Ingredients: Melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter and warm 1/4 cup of heavy cream over low heat.
  4. Mash the Potatoes: Mash the drained potatoes until smooth. Mix in melted butter, warm cream, Parmesan, salt, pepper, and egg yolks.
  5. Pipe the Potatoes: Transfer the mixture to a piping bag and pipe mounds onto the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Bake the Potatoes: Brush with remaining melted butter and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden and crisp.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Cool slightly, garnish with chives or parsley, and serve immediately.
