These potato swirls not only look delicious but also taste amazing. Made with cheese, nutmeg and egg yolks, they are packed with flavour. You can easily make them a day or a few hours ahead and just heat them up in the microwave or oven before serving. Perfect as a side dish for your Christmas dinner, I also used this recipe for a vegetarian Christmas main dish I shared earlier.
