Prepare the Potatoes: Place the peeled and chopped potatoes into a large pot of cold, salted water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain the potatoes well and return them to the pot.
Mash the Potatoes: Use a potato masher or ricer to mash the potatoes until smooth. Add 2 tablespoons of the melted butter, heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and grated nutmeg. Mix well to combine.
Incorporate the Egg Yolks: Allow the mashed potatoes to cool slightly before stirring in the egg yolks, one at a time. Mix until fully incorporated, resulting in a smooth and creamy mixture.

Pipe the Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Transfer the potato mixture to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe the potatoes onto the prepared baking sheet in decorative swirls or rosettes.
Bake the Potatoes: Brush the tops of the piped potatoes with the remaining melted butter. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and slightly crisp on the edges.
Garnish and Serve: Remove the Duchess Potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

The nutmeg adds a subtle warmth and depth of flavor to the potatoes, so don’t skip this ingredient.
If you don’t have a piping bag, you can use a plastic sandwich bag with a corner snipped off, or simply spoon the potatoes onto the baking sheet and shape them with a spoon.

Refrigeration: Leftover Duchess Potatoes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Freezing: You can freeze the piped, unbaked potatoes on a baking sheet until firm, then transfer them to a freezer-safe container or bag. Bake them directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
