Where to find ingredients
Potatoes, butter, and eggs are staples found in any local supermarket produce, dairy, and refrigerated aisles. Use starchy potatoes like Russets for the best texture. Nutmeg can be found in the spice aisle. If you don't have a piping bag, a sturdy freezer bag with a corner snipped off or a simple nozzle set will work perfectly.
Preparation method
- Peel the potatoes and place them in a pot of cold water
- Bring the water to a boil over high heat
- Add salt and boil for about 20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender
- Drain the water completely and mash the potatoes using a potato ricer or masher
- Mix the butter and egg yolks thoroughly into the mashed potatoes
- Season with salt, black pepper, and nutmeg, stirring well to combine the flavors
- Transfer the mixture into a piping bag fitted with a large star nozzle
- Preheat your oven to 180°C
- Grease a baking tray with butter and lightly dust with flour
- Pipe the potato mixture onto the tray, pressing steadily
- Start from the center and pipe in a spiral motion to create the rose shape
- Leave enough space between each rose on the baking tray
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown
- Remove from the oven and serve immediately
Observations
These dainty bites feature a buttery, melt-in-the-mouth texture and a stunning presentation. By using a piping bag, you can easily create beautiful, uniform rosettes that elevate your meal from a standard side to an impressive work of art.
