Potato Duchess Recipe ingredients

• 4 cups hot mashed potatoes
• 1 egg yolk
• Salt
• 1 tablespoon vegetable butter
• Thin cream

To prepare this Potato Duchess Recipe, first boil pared potatoes, drain, mash through a potato ricer, and set on the edge of the stove. Add the butter, the cream, the beaten yolk, salt to taste, and mix well. Put into a pastry bag with a star tube, and press out on an oiled pan in large rose shapes; or lay on a board and form into diamond or leaf shapes. Brush over with cream or milk, and bake in a quick oven.

Potato en Surprise

Put the above potato mixture into a pastry bag, and make round potato borders on an oiled baking sheet, leaving a hollow in the center. Fill this cavity with nicely seasoned green peas or spinach. Cover with the potato, brush over with cream, and bake the same as the preceding.

Mashed Potato Cakes

Use the same ingredients as for duchess potato. Shape into patties, or round cakes, about 3/4 of an inch thick. Lay in an oiled baking pan, and brown lightly in a quick oven; or brown in a slightly oiled skillet.
