1

Start by boiling the potatoes in cold water with rock salt until tender, about 20-25 minutes.

2

Once cooked, drain the potatoes and let them dry outside to remove excess moisture.

3

Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or ricer until smooth.

4

Place the mashed potatoes on low to medium heat for a couple of minutes to evaporate any remaining moisture.

5

Remove from heat and incorporate the unsalted butter into the mashed potatoes until fully melted and combined.

6

Add 3 egg yolks to the mixture and mix until well combined and the color is golden.

7

Season with salt flakes and nutmeg, mixing thoroughly to ensure even distribution of seasoning.

8

Put the mixture into a piping bag and pipe decorative shapes onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper.

9

Preheat the oven to 200°C (420°F) and bake the piped potatoes for about 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
