The Duchess potatoes have a French origin and are an excellent appetizer for aperitifs outdoors, or a good side dish for meat. Their preparation is very simple and requires few ingredients to be mixed in a bowl. You need use the sac à poche and the baking paper so that it does not stick to the baking dish. Make the classic shape as if you were putting some cream nuts on a cake. In case you did not have the sac à poche made with the hands of the small meatballs and cut them.
