Instructions

1 Cover the potatoes with cold salted water, bring to a boil, and simmer until very tender, 15 to 18 minutes. Drain well and return to the hot pot for 1 minute to steam off moisture.
2 Pass the potatoes through a ricer or mash until completely smooth - lumps will clog the piping tip.
3 Beat in the butter and cream, then the egg yolks one at a time, the Parmesan, salt, white pepper, and nutmeg. Cool for 10 minutes so the mixture firms up slightly.
4 Heat the oven to 425F (220C). Spoon the potatoes into a piping bag with a large star tip and pipe 2-inch rosettes onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
5 Brush the rosettes gently with beaten egg. Bake 18 to 22 minutes until golden brown on the ridges.
6 Sprinkle with chives and serve hot.
