Ingredients
 
 

  • 800 g potatoes
  • 2 eggs
  • 60 ml heavy cream double cream
  • 2 tablespoon cheese Gruyère, grated
  • 1 tablespoon parsley fresh, chopped
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg grated
  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • Bring to the boil and cook for about 20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
  • Drain the potatoes, mash and add the eggs, cheese, cream, parsley, seasoning and nutmeg. Mash until well combined.
  • Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
  • Fill a piping bag, fitted with a large star nozzle with the potato mixture.
  • Pipe swirls of the mixture onto the baking sheet.
  • Use an egg mixed with water to glaze the potatoes before baking.
  • Bake at 200FAN/220C/425F/Gas7 for 10 minutes until golden.

Notes

Top tips
• It makes it easier to pipe the swirls if you half fill the piping bag.
• It's easier to add the egg wash if the potatoes are cold or frozen.
• If you prefer a really smooth mash, use a potato ricer or food processor.
