Duchess Potatoes

"I really like this fun version of mashed potatoes. Everyone gets their own serving or you can get really creative and pipe them around your entree. I also love that you can make them one day ahead. From Betty Crocker's Meat and Potatoes."

  1. We really loved this recipe! I forgot to reduce the servings so I have many mounds of potatoes to use again tonight but that is another plus. Followed the recipe exactly and did not have any issues. I did warm the milk a bit before adding as I think it just helps keep the starches in the potatoes so they remain smooth. I used an ice cream scoop to make the servings before baking. With the leftovers I'm going to top with some cheese and fresh crumbled bacon and reheat. Wonderful recipe! Thanks LM for sharing.
