These Keto Duchess Potatoes are an elegant and delicious low-carb alternative to the traditional French dish. Made with cauliflower and a hint of cream cheese, this recipe provides a creamy, buttery texture with the signature golden ridges of duchess potatoes. Whether you’re hosting a holiday dinner or simply want a special keto-friendly side, these duchess potatoes will not disappoint.

Ingredients:

  • 1 large head of cauliflower (about 4 cups florets)
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Cauliflower:
    Begin by chopping the cauliflower into florets. Steam or boil the cauliflower for about 10-12 minutes until it’s very tender. Drain thoroughly to remove excess water.
  2. Blend the Cauliflower:
    Transfer the steamed cauliflower to a food processor and blend until smooth and creamy. Add the cream cheese, butter, heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, nutmeg (if using), and season with salt and pepper to taste. Blend again until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
  3. Add the Egg Yolks:
    Allow the cauliflower mixture to cool slightly before adding the egg yolks. Stir them into the cauliflower mixture until well combined.
  4. Pipe the Mixture:
    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spoon the cauliflower mixture into a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe small swirls (about 2-3 inches wide) onto the prepared baking sheet, forming the classic duchess potato shape.
  5. Bake:
    Bake the Keto Duchess Potatoes in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they turn golden brown on the edges and the ridges are crisp.
  6. Garnish and Serve:
    Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve warm alongside your favorite keto-friendly dishes. Enjoy the rich, creamy flavor without the carbs!

These Keto Duchess Potatoes are perfect for anyone looking to enjoy a refined, elegant side dish without sacrificing their low-carb lifestyle.
