Where to find ingredients
Find fresh potatoes and quality butter in the produce and dairy aisles of your local grocery store. Use a standard fine-mesh strainer or potato masher for the texture, and a sturdy piping bag with a large star-shaped nozzle for the signature rosette shape.
Preparation method
- Peel the potatoes and place them in a pot of water.
- Bring the water to a boil over high heat.
- Add salt and cook for approximately 20 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
- Drain all excess water thoroughly and pass the potatoes through a potato ricer or masher.
- Mix the butter and egg yolks into the potato mash until well combined.
- Season with salt, black pepper, and nutmeg, stirring to incorporate all the flavors.
- Transfer the potato mixture into a piping bag fitted with a large star nozzle.
- Preheat your oven to 180°C.
- Grease a baking sheet with butter and lightly dust it with flour.
- Pipe the potato mixture onto the baking sheet by pressing the piping bag steadily.
- Begin in the center and move in a circular spiral motion to form the shape of a rose.
- Ensure there is sufficient space between each portion on the tray.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and serve immediately.
