When the potatoes are cooked, remove from heat and immediately drain potatoes thoroughly in a colander. Return to saucepan; heat over medium-low heat approximately 1 to 2 minutes to dry potatoes, stirring occasionally. 

Mash potatoes until they're smooth and free of chunks.

Add 1/2 cup half and half cream, butter, egg yolks, and salt. Mix thoroughly to blend. NOTE: You do not want the mashed potatoes to be too soft or they will not hold their shape when baked. Slowly add remaining 1/4 cup half and half cream to the potatoes (you may not need to use all the half and half cream - the potatoes should be stiff).

Either spoon or pipe onto parchment-lined baking sheets leaving 2 inches between mounds.
