In the Instagram reel by Alex Trim, we see the chef peeling and cutting the potatoes. He then soaks them in water overnight. The next day, he separates egg yolks from whites. He also grates parmesan cheese to keep it ready for later steps. After draining the soaked potatoes, he cooks them in salted water until tender. He mashes the potatoes with a ricer. In a large bowl, he then mixes cheese, egg yolks, butter, white pepper, nutmeg and salt. He combines this mixture with the mashed potatoes.
He transfers the smooth potato mix to a piping bag and pipes it out in neat shapes. He then bakes them for some time. Later, he brushes them with clarified butter and returns them to the oven. Finally, he takes them out of the oven and garnishes the golden treats with chopped parsley.
