  1. I have been meaning to make this recipe for a long time and thought I would fix it along side a roast for this weekend. I have to say these are some of the best potatoes I have ever tried. I did cheat a bit and boiled the potatoes whole and then peeled off the skin before ricing. I ended up with alot of potatoes. I also did not have a piping bag so I arranged the potatoes and pretty as I could on a cookie sheet. Sprinkled a dash of paprika for color and they were beautiful!(well for not being rosettes. Hey but the flavor was still there. Rich but subtle. Really went well with the beef and beef juice.And I liked that I could make them ahead so I had time to play on Zaar. LOL Job well done Riff!
     
  2. These were very nice. I left out the nutmeg because I'm not very partial to nutmeg. I also boiled the potatoes instead of baking them. Otherwise I followed the recipe exactly. I did learn, though, while making these that the level of coordination needed to put mashed potatoes into a pastry bag without making a mess far exceeds my top coordination level. But I did get a great laugh out of it and my dogs enjoyed cleaning my hands afterwards.
     
  3. Ok, this is the second time that I've made these potatoes and while they are delicious, they brown, rise and then fall flat. Instead of using a mixer, I used a food processor. The blend is very smooth. Could that be the problem?
     
  4. This is a well written recipe that results in a snazzy looking side for any meal. But I didn't feel like the resulting taste for the amount of effort equalled out.
     
  5. Excellent potatoes Riff - my rosettes didn't turn out so great but it sure didn't affect the taste any - thanks for posting. I will definitely make these again...I'll just practice with the rosettes before I serve them for company. ;)
