Duchesse potatoes are a classic French dish made by mixing mashed potatoes with butter and egg yolks. The mixture is then piped into fancy shapes and baked until golden brown. In this recipe, we've turned it up a notch by baking the potatoes in individual ramekins, giving them a more elegant and sophisticated look. These duchesse potatoes are perfect for serving with roasted meats, grilled fish, or as a delicious accompaniment to any meal.

Instructions

1.	Preheat your oven to 400 ºF.
2.	Grease 8 ramekins with a little butter or spray oil.
3.	In a large bowl, mash the cooked potatoes with a potato masher.
4.	Whisk in the butter until it's fully incorporated.
5.	Beat in the egg, followed by the egg yolks, a little at a time.
6.	Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
7.	Using a spoon or piping bag, fill each ramekin with the potato mixture.
8.	Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
