Duchesse Potatoes

Ingredients
1.5kg floury potatoes (e.g. King Edward)
150g butter
2 medium eggs
Salt, pepper and nutmeg

Method
1.  Preheat oven to 220°C.
2.  Peel and chop potatoes, and boil in salted water until tender - drain and return to the pan over a low heat to eliminate any excess moisture - mash potatoes well, using a ricer if possible.
3.  Return mashed potatoes to pan, and place over a medium heat - stir in 150g butter, and season with salt, pepper and nutmeg.
4.  Take pan off heat and stir in the beaten eggs - spoon the enriched mash into a piping bag (with a 2cm fluted nozzle), and while still warm, pipe into whorls on a greased baking sheet.
5.  Bake for 5-7 minutes until golden and crisp at the edges.
