- Cook the potatoes for about 25 minutes, or until fork tender.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare a baking tray with nonstick spray.

- To the bowl of potatoes, add the heavy cream, salt, pepper, and half of the butter. Put the remaining butter aside.
- Mash the potatoes until smooth.
- Add the egg yolks and mash some more, but make sure not to overdo it.
- Put the mashed potatoes in a piping bag with a star tip.
