Step 1

Put potatoes in a LARGE pot (3 qt) and COVER WITH A COUPLE OF INCHES OF COLD WATER. Add a teaspoon of salt to the water. Bring to a simmer and cook UNTIL THE POTATOES ARE TENDER (the tines of a fork easily pierce), about 20-25 minutes.

Step 2

MEANWHILE, melt 2 tablespoons of butter and set aside. Use this butter to coat the potatoes right before they go in the oven.

Step 3

PREHEAT THE OVEN 425° F.

Step 4

AFTER THE POTATOES ARE COOKED, DRAIN IN A COLANDER AND PUT THE POTATOES BACK IN THE POT SET OVER LOW HEAT. ALLOW THEM TO RELEASE STEAM FOR A MINUTE OR SO. Add 2 tablespoons of butter and mash the potatoes until the butter has been incorporated. Add nutmeg, black pepper, and heavy cream while you continue to mash the potatoes. After everything is mashed together, add salt, to taste, and the egg yolks. Continue to mash UNTIL THE MIXTURE IS SMOOTH. DO NOT OVER-MASH OR YOUR POTATOES WILL END UP GLUEY.

Step 5

PLACE A LARGE STAR TIP IN A PIPING BAG. DON’T BE INTIMIDATED BY THIS STEP! Pipe the potatoes onto a cookie sheet. If you don’t care to try piping or you just don’t have time to fuss, you can just fill a casserole dish with the mashed potatoes, and use a fork to create lots of peaks on the surface. The swirled edges from the star-point piping bag forms or the peaks of mashed potatoes in a casserole dish will brown nicely in the oven. Whether you make piped individual portions or a casserole, PAINT THE POTATOES WITH THE MELTED BUTTER. Bake in the 425°F oven until nicely browned, about 20 minutes.
