Smooth, buttery mashed potatoes baked into golden swirls infused with garlic and fresh herbs.

# Ingredients Required:

→ Potatoes

01 - 900 grams russet potatoes, peeled and cubed

→ Dairy

02 - 115 grams unsalted butter, softened
03 - 120 milliliters heavy cream
04 - 2 egg yolks

→ Seasonings

05 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
06 - 1 teaspoon onion powder
07 - Salt, to taste
08 - Black pepper, to taste

→ Garnish

09 - Fresh parsley or chives (optional)

→ Others

10 - 15 milliliters olive oil, for greasing the baking sheet

# Guide to Cooking:

01 - Place the cubed potatoes in a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender when pierced with a fork, approximately 15 to 20 minutes.
02 - Drain the potatoes thoroughly and return them to the pot. Use a potato masher or ricer to mash until smooth and free of lumps.
03 - Add the softened butter and heavy cream to the mashed potatoes. Mix until fully combined, achieving a smooth and creamy consistency.
04 - Stir in the egg yolks, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is uniform and richly flavored.
05 - Preheat the oven to 200°C. Grease a baking sheet with olive oil or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
06 - Transfer the potato mixture to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe 12 to 15 swirls or rosettes onto the prepared baking sheet.
07 - Bake the piped potatoes for 25 to 30 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and crisp.
08 - Remove the baked potatoes from the oven and transfer them to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives as desired.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Using a ricer instead of a masher yields a finer texture, enhancing the smoothness of the final product.
