Duchess potatoes are a classic and classy side dish that makes any meal better. A beautiful presentation is made with mashed potatoes that have been shaped into pretty pipes and then baked until golden and crispy. Adding butter, egg yolks, and cream to these potatoes makes them rich and decadent. If you want, you can add Parmesan cheese to make them even tastier. Put these duchess potatoes on top of your favorite main dish for a meal that looks as good as it tastes.
