These are an old favourite that is still a winner. Mashed potatoes shaped into rosettes.

Crisp and lightly browned on the outside and silky smooth on the inside.
Ingredients
- 750 grams Sebago potatoes, peeled, coarsely chopped
- 2 tbsp butter
- pinch of white pepper
- Melted butter, extra for greasing
- 2 egg yolks

Instructions
- Place potato in a saucepan. Cover with cold water. Bring to the boil over high heat. Cook for 10 minutes or until very tender.
