I used Duchess Potatoes as an inspiration for something else this year, go see my Duchess Potato Christmas Trees over at The Kitchn. p.s. I discovered that if you keep baking them they turn a lovelier shade of golden brown. I pulled them out of my oven a bit too early fearing they would burn.
This past Thanksgiving I piped Duchess Potatoes into the shape of bowls to hold a bit of gravy.

Hi, I'm Megan. I live in Seattle with Scott. I make stuff and give you tutorials on how to make it too. I also keep a blog of what I'm up to and links to good stuff from all over.
Lately I've been reflecting on 2011, wishing I didn't have to say goodbye to my3D gingerbread trees and learning how to make boiled omelets. You can also find me at Twitter, Flickr, Ravelry, Facebook and Pinterest. More about me and all this.

Came across your site via CupcakeProject and so glad I did! These Duchess Potato Christmas Trees are a brilliant idea, especially the stars you created. Looking forward to what you come up with for a New Year’s Eve party.
