Duchesse Potatoes
4 pounds large red potatoes
3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1 1/4 cups milk
3 large egg yolks
Peel and quarter potatoes and in a large saucepan cover with salted cold water by 2 inches. Bring water to a boil and simmer potatoes until tender, about 15 minutes.
While potatoes are simmering, in a small saucepan heat butter with milk over moderately low heat until melted and keep warm.
Drain potatoes in a colander and force through a ricer or food mill into a bowl. With an electric mixer beat in milk mixture, yolks, and salt and pepper to taste.
Preheat oven to 400F. Spread about one third potatoes in a buttered 1-quart gratin dish and transfer remaining potatoes to a pastry bag fitted with a 3/4-inch star tip. On potatoes in dish pipe potatoes in the bag. Potatoes may be prepared up to this point 1 day ahead and chilled, covered loosely. Bake potatoes until heated through and tops of "ghosts" are golden, 15 to 20 minutes.

It's mashed potatoes, mixed with eggyolks, usually piped into rosettes and baked for decoration.
