This was delicious, I sized it down to 4.5 serves (using 1 egg) and it served 4 of us very adequately. I did put a sprinkle of grated parmesan on the top of each mound (no piping bag) before drizzling with butter. My only mistake was I forgot to add the cream (so was a little dry - my fault). Enjoyed and DH has asked for it to be served again with cream. Made for 123 Hit Wonders 2007C. Thank you Kittencal for another winner.

These were so light and delicate~ tasted just awesome. Ended up blowing my WW points for the day. I didn't have a bag to pipe them with so i gently spooned them onto my baking stone. Just excellent. I used a pastry brush to gently add the last bit of butter, didn't need quite as much that way. The only thing, and it wasn't stated in the recipe, I mashed the potatoes instead of ricing them which I should have done, it really didn't matter though~ they still tasted excellent when I was on my third one! Yikes!
