Good to know

Chef's tip

Add a little grated cheese (such as Parmesan) to the mashed potatoes for even more indulgence! 🧀✨

Freezing : Can you freeze this recipe?

Yes

Works very well, up to 3 months in freezer bags or airtight containers. Freeze raw (shaped) or already cooked.

Storage : How long does it keep?

Keeps 3-4 days max in an airtight container in the refrigerator after cooking.

Making ahead : Can you make it the day before?

Yes

The mash can be prepared the day before. Shape and bake just before serving for the best texture.

Reheating : How do you reheat it?

Ideally in the oven at 180°C for 10-15 minutes to regain crispness. Can be reheated in the air fryer. Microwave not recommended for texture.

Variations

Add grated cheese to the mashed potatoes.
Serve alongside a roast or as an appetizer.
Pipe small rosettes for appetizers.

Mistakes to avoid

Leaving the mash wet: drain the potatoes well.
Forgetting the yolks: add them after the butter.
Baking in an oven that is too cool: allow 20 minutes at 200 °C for golden duchess potatoes.
