"Spud-tacular Ranch" Duchess Potatoes

I have to admit that this is the first time I've made Duchess Potatoes. This recipe takes the humble potato and turns it into an attractive package.

With the addition of Marzetti Simply Dressed Ranch to the potato recipe, it created a delicious side dish. It will be on my dinner table more often. Thanks Foodbuzz for offering the Marzetti Simply Dressed Ranch as part of the tastemaker program.

Ingredients:
2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and quartered
3 egg yolks
3 tablespoons Marzetti Simply Dressed Ranch
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 egg, lightly beaten

Directions:
1. Place potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes or until teneder. Drain.

2. Over very low heat, stir potatoes for 1 to 2 minutes or until steam has evaporated. Press through a potato ricer or strainer into a laerge bowl. Stir in the egg yolks, Marzetti Simply Dressed Ranch, butter, salt and pepper.

3. Using a pastry bag or heavy-duty resealable plastic bag and a large star tip, pipe potatoes into 2-inch mounds on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Brush with beaten egg. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
