                        -- cubed
   4      tablespoons   butter
   2      teaspoons     milk
   2                    egg yolks
     3/4  teaspoon      salt
     1/8  teaspoon      white pepper -- (optional)

Preparation:

Steam potatoes until tender, about 20 minutes. Test with a fork. Mash adding butter, milk, seasoning to taste, then egg yolks. Try not to allow potatoes to cool very much. Spoon into heaping, rounded individual patties onto a buttered cookie sheet, or use a pastry bag to make spiraling puffs. Brush with egg and water mixture. Brown until light golden under a broiler for about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with paprika and serve.
